Hey guys.
I'm currently searching for a Rockford or Hedwick MV100 milling machine. It seems like the perfect mill to fit my home shop. I know these mills come and go occasionally but are these harder to come by than I think? My concern is finding one that is complete, even if it's broken I can always make parts for it. I read a while back that a company called bourn-koch took over the parts end of these mills but has anyone ever reached out to them about what they actually have?
Does anyone have a manual for this machine? I already have a brochure as well as a cutaway view depicting all the part numbers
I was just looking at a millrite at an auction but the Rockford/Hedwick machine just seems a lot more stout with more options standard (power down feed, bigger table, power table feed, high low gear box etc). I also like the idea of the motor not being mounted on top of the ram.
I'm located in NY, east of Manhattan.
