Sheldon (Vernon) Model 0 Horizontal Mill Restoration.

Hello Jim, I just found your write up on the Vernon. Beautiful work. I too just completed a Vernon restoration and have a fairly clean front label I can snap a photo of if you are still in search of one. Apologize if I am landing on this thread too late.

Thank you, I'd very much like to see a clean label.

Hi - Not the last poster here, but I saw this, so here's the tag from mine - Also a war machine :~)

Nice tag. Mine as well

Here is a shot of my Sheldon 0 (I think). There are no product markings at all. The overhead support must be shop made by a previous guy, but it works well. Without power feed, it's not all that practical, but I've cut a few keyways with it. I added a 3" mill vise that is just mandatory in my opinion. And for the record, somebody else did the power switch.

Thanks guys. I've been playing around with Inkscape but being "left brained" it is a slow process. I'll get there, I really want to get the proper graphics on the mill.

By the way, I just bought a set of Collets with a B&S #9 collet holder for the little Sheldon mill. Local guy, paid $90 for 1/8" through 1" by 1/8th. I have to make a new drawbar but that's a straightforward project.
