Hi everyone, I have very little experience on using a mill.
I just bought this mill. It is a Pacific FT2. I have found very little information about it on the internet.
I don't even know where it is made. I suspect Spain, but could be wrong.
It has an R8 taper, 3 phase 2hp motor, and x power feed.
I can't get the quill feed to work, is there a manual that can be downloaded that explains what all the levers do?
And when I tighten the drawbar whilst pulling on the brake lever the spindle jumps up and jumps the teeth in the head on the reduction gearset. Is this normal?
I have fitted a single to 3 phase vfd which works very well.
Thanks for any help.
Grant.

Google

Google search only brings up images of there early presses, but placcards are the same on the older machines that match yours http://www.pacific-press.com/ they are still in buisness but don't expect to find replacement parts from them. Looks like a nice solid machine bet it will clean up nice.
