HALES Milling Machine
I am loking at getting one of these. Vertical, 1-1/2HP. Single phase
120/220. About 24" long table. Does the spindle mount conventional tooling? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Bob AZ |

Bob AZ Most of them took standard R8 tooling. I have one, but mine has also a horizontal spindle. below the ram of the vertical head. Mine is also 3ph. They are well made, stout and apparently accurate. Mine is in the To Do section as the Y lead screw nut is blown out, the result of somone hitting the table with a fork lift. Im unable to find a supplier of the correct lead screw nut..so parts may be an issue if something takes a dump. Ill get this running this winter, and I believe it will be a very handy addition to the other millers I have. Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
