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. |

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 |

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) LLoyd |

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, Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. |

Ignoramus2823 quickly quoth: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=150146867049 I'll bet that the seller, expecting $100 from the deal, is TOTALLY ENTHUSED about the selling price of $7,377.77, eh? -- The ancient and curious thing called religion, as it shows itself in the modern world, is often so overladen with excrescences and irrelevancies that its fundamental nature tends to be obscured. --H.L.

Lots of new CNC machines use the method today, on both knee-mills and bed-mills. That is quite a beefy one though. That makes sense. It's like an adaptation of a ram/turret setup. 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. 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. Take care, Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. |
