Hi,
I managed to find myself this old milling machine and can't seem to identify the manufacturer.
Any chances anyone here knows the maker or has any other clues.
What I know.
Original colour PROBABLY black, but could be darker green also.
The contraption on the top for tensioning flat belt is selfmade, but flat belt pulley up there is original.
Metric machine - all leadscrews with 5mm pitch.
Fasteners are real weird. Bolt diameters are all metric, eg 6,8,10,12mm but thread pitches are all TPI.
Motor location is not original - motor in all likelyhood is original.
All, and I do mean ALL parts, including custom fasteners are stamped with serial number, in my case 458 or on small parts just 58
Only writing on the machine I could find is "D.R.G.M" what is sort of German patent.
Stamped on the edge of the vertical head casting, there is "FEST"
