I just called Wells-Index. The mill was made in 1975 (so it is newer
than me), it weighs 2,600 lbs, and has a 1.5 HP variable speed head.

The spindle taper is R8, which is a big relief.

$900 if you pick up from the auction place.

Otherwise $1,300 with single phase conversion (VFD), panel control
only. It will be up to you to add fancy switches and speed pot.

This is a cash transaction. I can deliver, but I cannot take it off
the trailer easily. Mill includes R8 collets, but not boring heads
that you can see on the table.

Wells-Index is a USA company and they are still around with parts
support for this machine.
