I believe from the motor it is a three phase unit taking either 230 or 460 Vac. I also believe that it is probably a 2-hp motor. This leads to my first question I have and that is for something like this is the rotary converters better or the electronics version. I also presume it would be better to get a larger unit so that I can use it with other three phase items. I am hoping that this mill will suffice for a little while for my start-up metal-working hobby. The ways seem to be in decent shape. The handles seem to have the most damage and I think I will try to cast some new ones. I guess before try to figure out how to run it I might as well try to clean it up some. I was think about using gunk (like the car motor version) to do this. It is basically covered with oil(lub from milling I presume). It is currently just outside the front door where they unloaded it so it seems to be a good time to clean it. Any surprises I should look out for or expect. Thanks for any and all help. If necessary or asked to I will try to post pics to help. Toolmaster is a good rigid mill. Square saddle ways on mine which is an early one with step-pulley head and power down feed. No power to the table which is a nice compact 36" length. Perfect size for my Cincinnati 16" power-capable rotary table which gets lots of use. Very nice machine if in good condition. Consider yourself blessed to have one! The later variable speed heads look very complicated to a novice mechanic such as myself. Health, Peace Honest Al Babin K-MArt cashier Bristol Conn store |
