That is a nice mill, I had a buddy back east who had one and loved it, till like a fool he sold it when he got divorced. If that double e is any kind of condition its going to be a welcome addition. Even with out the threading a large variety of feeds its still a great machine.

Thanks fellas, I bought these two machines for $500 each and got the Kurt vise for an extra $100. I do ag equipment repairs and restorations as my hobby. Excited to add this equipment! Here is the project I finished last week. It was a big task but am happy with the results.





My rpc is on its way and I should be making chips next week. This site is a great resource!

that is one heck of a project! Beautiful job. Can't wait to see what you do with these machines if that's anything to go by.

Milling machine painted... My 3 phase motor showed up and converter panel should arrive Monday. I have gathered wiring, breakers etc for the project. The lathe is almost stripped of the seven layers of paint it had.

First welcome to our site, now you found yourself some nice looking machinery. The mill turned out brand new looking . How come machines look so good painted any shade of gray. I'm going to restore a 20" Rockwell drill press and I'm stuck on what color to paint it, half want to use the hammered copper or the gray like yours. Oh well I'll wait and see. Good luck with your new machines next you'll need grinders to sharpen tool bits , then a saw or two . It never ends when you start all kinds of tooling and other items just to get the job done. Keep the pictures coming they help us to stay interested.

Well I finished the lathe. All the wiring is complete. I had a few issues getting the lathe running but overcame them. I struggled with electrical issues but finally my cousin came over and discovered the exciter motor and generator were spinning backwards. We reversed two wires and now runs like a champ! Incredible how simple things can be missed and cause hours of trial and error.

Oh my, those two look lonely in there. Scatter some chips (or gravel) on the floor.

I'll bet the room echoes with all the machinery there. Wish I had some room, I'm trying to get some but 40 years of all kinds of things and other peoples things take up space. Looks like you did alright with the machines you picked up. They cleaned up well , good luck with them and be safe. Oh and welcome to the group .
