I asked a friend who is moving about a milling machine he had...he said come get it and haul it away..
So now I am the owner of a small (650 lbs of cast iron from the 60's) milling machine:
Never had one before and not sure what I am going to make with it...but I know it will come in handy.
Anyone on the forum have anything like it?
It is a Clausing 8520.

I'd be willing to try! I have never done ANY milling on anything before so I would suggest it not be mission critical!!Duncan wrote:Cool tool!Ric in Richmond wrote:...So now I am the owner of a small (650 lbs of cast iron from the 60's) milling machine..:

What are you thinking about???

Re: New tool to play with....
Well! I think you need a lathe!
I need to get rid of my father's WWII era 13" 5' bed South Bend lathe. The best offer I got several months ago was $250. but I'd have had to move it to the front of the house which will cost $100. There's a drive (suitable for a bobcat or similar) around the back, and a garage door, so it's not all that hopeless.
Anybody else? Near Wilmington Delaware.
