Hey everyone,
Not sure if I'm in the right forum with this machine so please tell me if I should be somewhere else with this.
Its a Pratt & Whitney, Tape "O" Matic
vertical milling machine
I've been looking for a cheap vertical mill for awhile. Cheaper the better, I'm willing to fix things to get it cheaper. Want a mill for a automotive machine shop. Will be used for many different things and possibly including flycutting cylinder heads and manifolds.
I ran across a mill unlike what I've seen before And not sure what you can do with it.
Can a person remove the tape feed control system, and make this a manual mill with power feeds, and keep it so its still worth while doing?? Also can a person Tram the head on this type head, thinking I want a thousand or two on that flycutter?
I thank you in advance for any advice you might have. Will probably buy this mill because of the price, if you guys think its a good idea.
Thanks
Mm
