info on horizontal mill

[Piero]

Hi guys.

Trying to find any info I can on this horizontal mill

I only have the one photo of it I am afraid.

There is absolutely no makers mark on it.

It's about 3 foot odd high

Don't know what else to say

Very old horizontal bench top mill, a bit limited in use. What are you planning on using it for? How much is it?

 

[Piero]

It came with a shed load of other items,

No plans as yet,

Its very well made, even has power feed to one of the axes

came with about 15 cutters

I do know, you can simply use the collet part of it, that opens up a hole load of other uses

Ah if you already own it then it can be a useful tool but it hasn't got the versatility of a vertical head. I have a similar, slightly newer Ajax mill, with a nice heavy dovetailed overarm, my plan is to build a smaller scale J type head for it.

I saw a YouTube video off a guy giving a pretty good argument for them.

There's more rigidity in one.

There is a good thread on Garage journal on the uses of horizontal milling machines.
