Jackson vertical mill - information?
 

I'm going to look at a Jackson vertical mill tomorrow night.
I've not found out much about them.
It appears they were a WW2-era machine, and probably BS#9 spindle taper.
Does anyone here have any knowledge of them beyond that?
Is this a full-size mill, or a Rockwell size?

Get a BP or clone and stop screwing around. The big cost is tooling.......not the machine.

I have a very nice Millrite MVN and a minimill, and plenty of tooling
for both.

Some of us like restoring old iron.
This one is about the size of a Rockwell.
