Online auction, won one, picked up a second for a song, and then why go if you don't fill the trailer, LOL. All are supposed to be runners. In order of success..
1st. Greaves Milling Machine. Wanted to have an operating mill sized between my non-operating J-head BB, and outside underwraps Cincinnati Vertical 4. This Greaves mill has a M-Head BB mill attached to the overarm.
2nd. Makino Milling Machine. ???, hopefully I can recoup my gas money with this mill. I know less than nothing about Makino.
3rd. Van Norman Milling Machine. Was a late addition to the listing. Fell in love with it because of style and completeness. I see collets in a rack attached to the side.
So, I have 5 mills now, will be down to 1 or 2 in a month or two. The Cincinnati No4 has to go after watching the Greaves mill on uTube. The No4 is too heavy for my concrete and would like all my machines in one area, etc. one mill has to go, well, just because. My J-head BB will go as a whole or for parts depending on my next move.
My current thought (without looking at these mills in person yet) is to keep the Van Norman No16 and to keep the Greaves without the M-head. Then sell the Cincinnati No4, J-head BB complete, sell the Makino and sell the M-head (from the Greaves)
That leaves me with the No16 for light to medium and the Greaves for medium to heavy milling. Both of these mills are universals and have swivel tables.
I forgot to add my original thought before I got the other two mills. I was originally chasing the Greaves.
Put the J-head onto the Greaves and call it a day and get rid of the rest.
The Cincinnati No4 Vertical
The Van Norman No16
The other mill, not to be named
The BB without its J-head for parts
The M-head,head only.
Also, anyone know the weight of the Makino?
Anyway, enjoy the pictures,
Carl
