Do a pm to Bob Korves, or talvarez or Ulma doctor in this thread. I'm out of town and hard to get contact/location info together.

Hi Mark
The horizontal/vertical mill is a Trans World Steel VHM-728
Tiawanese manufacture late 70's early 80's construction
R8 spindle 3.5" travel
4 speeds in vertical
6 speeds in horizontal
9x26 table
One shot lubrication
Manual control only
115v operation
 
Wow neat! I have a Trans World Steel 4x6 bandsaw, probably same vintage, weighs a freaking ton, fixing up when I get to it...
I'd love to find one of those mills tho., a rare bird

i recently saw a Trans World Steel 1236 lathe on CL, i considered getting it, but my space is too limited
 
Not all early taiwan stuff was good- I have a 70s taiwan drill press and it's absolute trash. Drills holes, that's about the best you can say about it LOL
