Is the support arm present? It (usually) comes over the arbor,
then comes down and serves as a bearing mount for the far end of the
arbor, to minimize flex and chatter.

Can you *move* it? My Nichols weighs about 1100 pounds.

What kind of feed on the table? Most have leadscrews, but some
(like the Nichols) are so-called "production" hand mills, and are fed by
a lever. This is nice for repeat operations, feeding between stops, and
for certain other operations. My Nichols has both leadscrew and lever
feed. Some have lever only. Another version of the Nichols has
compressed air feed for automatic operation.

I have a customer with one of these (air over oil) Nichols for sale, in
VERY nice condition, for $550. VERY nice condition.

About a 6x 24" table, with 1" arbor

Located in Van Nuys, California.
Email me for name/phone/contact

Did I say it was in VERY nice condition?
