Van Norman #16 Universal Mill. Very handy machine in many wats that a
Bridgeport-type machine is not . . . cutter head can be loosened and
rotated to any angle from vertical to horizontal in minutes, returned
right back to accurately vertical. Table travel 21 inches. Approximate
weight 3000 lbs. Pick up here only, we can help out loading. Generally
very good condition, everything works, mechanically driven table. Lots
and lots of tooling, will include vise also. Ask for Paul.


Somebody..GRAB this!!!

Van Normans are one of the finest workhorse mills ever made.

My partner and I bought a #36 sometime back..its a big one...and Its
Farking Fantasitc!!

They are simply marvelous for things that other mills simply cant do,
without a ****load of speciality tooling, adapters and whatnot.

Snag it!!!!!!

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
