MILLING MACHINE - Toolmaster Vertical - $1,700 (Escondido)

For the price of a cheap BP clone? Why are you even telling us except to brag that it's in your shop?
 
IT SAYS WILL DELIVER FOR $100!!!!! You better call this man..... Jump on it before someone else does.....

Used those back in the 80’s. Most are 40 taper machines, so tool holders will cost you a bit if not included. We had problems with the speed change mechanism in the heads too, parts were available then, but expensive. Metal removal rate makes a Bridgeport look like a toy. It’s a heavy, rigid beast.
 
It looks like a 1D, with a riser, X and Y power feeds. I have a 1D, I really like it - excellent machine (if in decent condition). Mine is a #40NMTB, very robust (I believe all the model 1D are #40). Hopefully both the hand wheels and the knee crank are still there (they would be a pain to have to reproduce). It looks like one of the hand wheels on the pallet. The crank is uses a different face spline than the BP and Asian mills (I ended up making one).

Great machine, get it if you can.
