Hi folks,
I recently got to look over a van norman milling machine model 22-L. Just curious about these machines if they are good bad or indiffernt. This particular machine was in ok shape not much wear and most of it was tight with little to no slop in the wheels. It appears that it is both a vertical or horizontal machine depending on how you tip the head. It did seem to take an odd collet it for sure wasnt r8. This one appeared to have automatic feeds on it but I wont swear to that. Also it was set up with flood coolant and a pump. I thought i was a neat machine and I may be able to get my hands on it in the future. So any thoughts on these machines?
