Default Benchmaster Mill (again)

I bought a Benchmaster Mill with the fixed vertical head. No quill.
Needs a lot of cleanup and a new paint job will make it nice. So off
to the glass bead shop for openers.

I have read lots of older messages on this newsgroup and apparently I
have a late model in that the feeds etc have wheels with handles. The
motor is mounted vertically an a tilting base that keeps the belt
tight. The pulleys are 4 groove. The motor is 1/2 HP. 120/220 volts.

The head uses the HaRDINGE type of collet. There was one collet with
the mill. 3/8" 2M. Not sure what 2M means. For now I can stick with
3/8" shank cutters. Will need to locate a chuck with a #2 MT shank.


Seems like Morse 2 taper collets with 3/8" drawbar. I have a
Bridgeport cherrying head with such collets. These collets are always
available on ebay separately.

Also got the rotating vise with it but the bolts that secure the vice
to the ways are junky. Would like to have the correct ones.

I can fix it all up and have a space in the shop for the mill.

Any comments would be appreciated. The pricing was fine/OK.

Thanks
Bob AZ
