Need some advice on a Little Milling machine

[Bill Rosselot]

I found this little mill for sale. I'm just getting back into machine work, strictly for a hobby. I was wondering if this is a good mill, my only experience is with Bridgeport's. It is located several hundred miles from me and just wanted to know if it would be worth the drive. It comes with a Vice, some collets and some cutters, it is 110volt. Looks like it is in pretty good shape from the pictures but dont know much about the wear.

Thanks for the help

Wish I could have found one like that!

Burke is a good medium duty mill. That one looks in great shape, even has power cross feed. If it were me it would be home already.

I've contacted the owner and will pay for it until I can get over to pick it up. I can't pass this one up.

Looks like you get to spend some time getting the sawdust out of it too

I am on my second Millrite, Bill. Great machines, perfect for a home shop, capable and solid. Feel free to PM me if you want to ...

That Millrite was made in 1967.

I haven't ran mine yet... but I've gained a real appreciation during its 'restoration'.

Enjoy!!!
