Thread: combination horizontal vertical milling machine

I'm selling a Somua (model FHI I think?) horizontal/vertical milling machine. It has rapid travel and power feed in all three directions. Both spindles are 40 taper and it includes roughly 10 toolholders. I'm guessing about 30 inches of trave in x to give you an idea of the size. I need to sell it so I'm only asking $1250. Here's my e-mail, but the numbers should be numerical digits.

I added the 2 photos. It is a Somua FHI. There is an arbor support that goes with it, but no arbors. The vises are not included. My e-mail is, beeks eighty one @sbcglobal.net , but numbers should be digits, and no spaces.

Where are you in Wisconsin?

Does this thing have a quill?

Sorry no quill. I'm in Combined Locks, which is about a half an hour south of Green Bay.

There's more information about the model on this site.

That looks like a very nice machine. Wish you were closer I would grab it. I am actually thinking about trading my Hardinge turret lathe for a Horizontal/vertical machine like this for my shop. I have two lathes but I need a manual mill and I have always like these older heavy duty machines. Good luck with the sale. Peace

Pete

will you ship it?

Sorry Vettedude, I don't have any way of lifting it onto a truck.

I hear you Pete! I tried and tried to talk my Dad or Uncle into taking it so I could borrow it if I needed it. Nobody has the space for it though. I replaced it with a CNC knee mill that isn't as heavy duty, and I don't have room for both.
