Hi all!
Need to see if anyone can give me some info on this Brown & Sharpe Indexing / Dividing head and tailstock I just got on ebay (I am a newbie, so if I did not describe this item correctly, please let me know). See photos below.
I got them for $200 with tax. Honestly, was this a good deal, or did I screw up?
It is very smooth and looks a lot better in person than in the pics.
It's from a local tool and die shop in Chicago that is moving to the suburbs into a smaller shop, so some items and machines are being sold off before the move. Local pickup is the only reason I could get this. The shipping would have been $150 alone.
The only numbers on the unit are 3452 stamped on the top.
Does anyone know what model this is?
What kind of oil does it use?
I am a home shop machinist with limited experience, and I do have a few books from Lindsay on order that cover the use of these, but anyone have suggested reading for this unit?
How about original manuals for it, any available?
How old is it?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks all,
Pete.
