Something has to go to make room for the new arrival in May. Already posted my 1-R3-33, so also offering my 1970 manufacture Van Norman 2G Bridge Mill. This is a miniature planer mill. By miniature, I mean it's not as big as an Ingersoll with a 40ft wide table. It's still a 4,000lb machine. 3hp belt drive backgeared Bridgeport type head (very possibly an actual Bridgeport head, as they were just down the road) with 300 Kwik Switch spindle. Machine has been converted to ball screws on the X and Y axis with ABB VFDs on both axes and a nice control panel. 1/2hp on Y, 3/4hp on X. I had a friend with an engraving shop make up micrometer dial plates for it and made some crude indicator needles, but these can hold .001" if you can.
I have a pretty fair amount of KS30 tooling to go with it, including shell mill arbors, Weldon type holders, an ER-40 collet chuck with most common collet sizes and some Morse taper adapters for drilling. I'll throw in a Criterion boring head, but have no KS300 arbor for it.
Has a Bijur air oiler that lubes all sliding surfaces automatically and a Cool Mist coolant system built in (coolmist has no hoses, but reservoir and such is there).
Included is an X/Y Heidenhain DRO that I never got around to attaching, just needs new rubber curtains for the scales and installation (plenty of room for the scales).
Machine is 440v 3ph ONLY (due to the 440V ABB VFDs), but I will include a 15KVA step up transformer that I have been running it on for nearly 20 yrs.
I'll start at $1300 with tooling. If you don't need the tooling, I have an adapter to use the KS300 on my incoming machine, so that is negotiable. Will email detailed pics if interested. Offering here before posting in classifieds.
