For 8 yrs now..Ive been lusting after a minty Abene miller thats been
sitting on a clients shop floor. Its been sort of a carrot and a stick
running joke between the owner and myself. He is downsizing by
bringing in new high speed machining centers..and needs to off load
some of the older machines to make space.

I will be posting a list and pictures of some of the finest...finest
and prettiest small machines you will ever see...and they will be for
sale..with me as the agent EG...like the absolutely mint Hardinge
Horizontal, with verticle attachment and all the goodies....and the
Lagun #1 horizntal millers..just perfect for a home shop..and and
and... G

Oh..Ill need to sell my Clausing 8540 horizontal to make room for the
Abene, if anyone is interested..and wants to either come get it..or
arrainge for someone to pick it up..near Bakersfield California.
Tooled too btw...G


Anyways...I know there are Abene owners here. I need a manual and I
think I need the overarm support out on the end of the overarm bar.

Anyone?

I celebrate your requited love of said miller.

Sigh...we have not yet consummated the union however...the initial
setting it in a comfortable place..that first tentative fumbling
around as we plug it in..the gentle stroking of the controls..the
finding of The Button..and growing surge as it warms up and starts
running.. the increasing flow of lubrication....the selection of
levers and knobs, in and out..to and fro... increasingly stiffer and
stiffer and faster and faster merging of cutters and work
material....harder and faster and deeper and.....

Excuse me...I have to go change my shorts now.......

I've got a manual. It's not very good or clear but I'll see about
scanning it so you can look at it. I don't know what year you've got.
Mines probably around 1970 or so.

Check the Practical Machinist web site in the Deckel forum. Someone there
will probably help you. There's a guy named Wrench there that sells a
compendium of Deckel material on CD or DVD and that might also include some
Abene material.
