I went and looked at this machine last weekend, and I am going back to pick it up saturday morning. After wiring it back up, as the seller had already unhooked it from power, I ran it through all the motions.
All the feeds worked well, and the spindle sounded good up to the max of 1500rpm. No excessive gear train noise. The rapid was barely engaging, but seemed like a clutch adjustment will correct that.
I am excited to get it back to the shop this weekend, and start using it. Comes from a closed tool & die shop who said they only ever used it to face off die blocks as long as they had it.
I am going to flush it out and put fresh oil once I have it moved. Other than being dirty, and having sat for the last 2 years, it seems like it can go right into service. If there is anything else I should look over before putting it to work then please let me know.
