I was very fortunate to acquire this nice little Carter & Hakes horizontal mill yesterday. The table X and knee Z axes are lever fed. The Y axis has a mic dial and a provision for a ball handle (missing). The single T-slot table is 12" long, the X travel is 3", Y travel 3", and Z travel 2". The spindle bore is round with a set screw like an endmill holder, though this may not be the stock configuration.
It's an interesting little machine and a great match for my Sloan & Chace 5-1/2 lathe and Drummond bench shaper. Unfortunately I haven't found much info on the 'Net about it so I'd like to hear from any other owners who can share their experiences and setups.
Thanks,
Bob
