Time to start thinning the herd,and I really don't need 3 milling machines.
This fp1 is from the 70's,dial type,and 40 taper horizontal spindle.
I have the following attachments for it:
1.The overhead arm for the horizontal spindle.
2. The out board support for horizontal arbors.
3. The dividing head.It has one index plate mounted on it.
4.The tilting table,which I think has never been used. It could stand a paint job from the paint being knocked by other objects. The top of the table is not damaged in any way.
5. The standard,non tilting table. Some student got confused and milled some shallow marks in the table.(This machine was in a school) They are no more than 1/32" deep,except where he stopped,the groove is about 1/16" deep. If you put a vise on the table,you won't see the grooves. I was considering having the table re planed,but never did as I was wary that re planing the table might cause it to no longer be dead parallel.The grooves do not hurt the accuracy of the machine.
6.A few collets,some hold downs. 40 taper collets.
7. The motor is original
8. The manual.
This machine is not worn much at all. When I got it,the power feeds did not work. I think this happened early on,and the teacher never fixed it,or could not figure out how. I got a manual and found that there was a shear pin way down in the bottom of the column. It was an easy repair once you know how. Amazing how full of gears that column is! And all with mirror finished teeth.
The amount of play in the hand wheels is: With the table in the center of travel;X axis 8 1/2 thousandths. Vertical axis 1/2 thousandth(yes,that is correct).Y axis 4thousandths. I'm spelling it out to make it extra clear.
The machine is graduated in thousandths.
The machine has been VERY carefully repainted with a brush. But,you have to give it a close look to tell it. Whoever painted it knew how to paint.
You will have to come and get it. I am pretty disabled right now,needing both knees replaced. It is on a smooth concrete floor,and at the time I got it,2 of us moved it into place using steel bars under it to roll it into place. There is no room for a fork lift.
A smallish fork lift can go under the garage door,when you get it rolled over to it. My Bridgeport type mill was moved in with a fork lift,head upside down,with 1" clearance. So was my Harrison horizontal mill(but not as tall as the bridgey!)
You can start it up and run it in my shop. I run it with a rotary phase converter.Not included.
Price: $8,000.00 cash only,please. I know an average is about $6000.00,but this machine is not worn. I would not have you come from a long distance only to find that the machine is not as described.
