That's an unusual machine. It's got the form factor of a horizontal
mill, but it's got a right angle sort of thing on the end of the
overarm to make it a vertical spindle.
It's from Boeing Surplus, and I wouldn't doubt it. They had some
weird stuff there last time I visited. Like the bandsaw that had a
warning not to cut anything less than 1" thick.

Looks like it'll act as a vertical, and a horizontal, and anything in-
between.

Nice size table!

Might keep your shop from being blown away in a tornado... Or might be
the only thing left unmoved...

I think there are a few shops where the onyl time that machine could
enter it is AFTER the concrete has fully cured but before the walls
are built

That is exactly (well, almost) how my Cincy #2 got into my shop. I built
all but one wall and the ceiling near that wall, then had a big truck
wrecker pluck the mill from the flatbed and drop it neatly into my shop
(onto rollers). Rolled it out of the way, and finished the construction.

(and yes, I left a 5' wide "door" in one wall - filled in with framing but
removable - in case I ever decide to roll the thing out again G)

Hey 88,

Not so unusual. Lots of new CNC machines use the method today, on
both knee-mills and bed-mills. That is quite a beefy one though.

And the sign you noted on a bandsaw is placed there so that the
unwitting don't try to cut off stock of less than three times the
tooth pitch, taking a huge chance of stripping every tooth from the
blade. Usually made for slow blade speed heavy stock removal, maybe
like cutting through say a 12" X 12" billet in under 4 minutes.

Take care,

Looks like a nice little Huron universal mill. Every home should have one.

I did not bid because I could not decide whether to put it in the
basement or on the second floor...

I'll bet that the seller, expecting $100 from the deal, is TOTALLY
ENTHUSED about the selling price of $7,377.77, eh?

Well if you put it on the second floor it soon would be in the basement ;)

Strange name and image for a french machine.

I doubt that the seller cares even a bit, it is Boeing/Bidado...

That makes sense. It's like an adaptation of a ram/turret setup.

Right. I should have thought of that--I'm familiar with the rule of
thumb--more than once I've been called upon to replace a bandsaw blade
that had more than 50% of its teeth missing.
