Deckel FP1 - new addition to the workshop
Randomly I stumbled upon a retired gentleman in my neighbourhood that had a drill press for sale. While checking that out I noticed he also had a Deckel FP1 in his garage so I ended up buying that for a very reasonable price (also ended up with a Schaublin 102). Hope to get it delivered next weekend depending on the weather.
I hope it will clean up nicely.
Slotting head:
High speed head:
Does this mean it's for a FP2, or are they interchangeable?
Spiral milling attachment:
I unfortunately didn't get a gearbox with it. But making a simple encoder / stepper setup should be manageable if the need arises.
I'm super excited to get the mill home and start playing with it. First step after it's cleaned and up and running is to figure out what kind of DRO to get and how to mount it.
