Hi,
I am considering the purchase of an Index 645 turret mill (manufactured in 1965). The motor is 440VAC 3 phase, and power isn't available to run it prior to purchase. If it could run, I would perform a few test cuts to see if everything is OK. Since it can't run, I would like to inspect it for worn (or loose) parts prior to purchase.
A description of the mill is: http://www.lathes.co.uk/index/
Can someone suggest some important checks to be performed (or point me to a website discussing such)?
Thank you,
Andy
