I have ran across an old mill I'm not familiar with. The pic on the net looks
interesting. Are they very usuable due to the small working envelope? Respectfully, Ron Moore |

Ron,
Anything that Hardinge made was rock solid for the envelope. If you work on small projects it will be useful. Regards, Kent "Ron Moore" wrote in message ...

Well, I went to see the BB4 today. About a 120 mile scenic tour, each way.
Looks like everythings there, even 14 4C colletts. Just needs a bit of paint and cabinet door adjustment. The motor is almost as large as the mill portion. I had to adopt it. Especially for $300.

The seem like the ideal machine for small intricate work. They also made companion vertical machine - no quill on it though. The doors are held with spring latches, that tend to break. Hardinge still sells these latches inexpensively. The 4C collets you got are nearly worth 300 by themselves!

Unfortunately, I had to leave the little guy where I bought it. We don't close
on the new building until late January and I don't have the space to "stick it" until then. It will be coming home as soon as I can get some room. At that time, I will get some pics. It should make a great restoration (refinish) project. This makes 12 known locations I have tools, etc. stuck. What a roundup I'm gonna have.
