Thread: K&T Milwaukee Comparison Chart?

I'm driving myself crazy trying to find this really wonderful PDF I had for awhile. As I recall, it was a hand-drafted table (versus type-set) that provided a wealth of information for the various models of milling machine. It was not a flashy sales brochure, just a 2-3 page document that gave dimensions, weight, spindle taper, spindle HP, etc. for each size in the H and K series (or maybe it was the CH and CK, don't remember). Anyone here know what I'm talking about? Even better, do they know where I can download it? I've been going through the Vintage Machinery website but, short of clicking every one of the 300+ files, I don't know what else to do! It may have been shared by someone here several years ago. I don't remember.

I currently own a 3H/3CH Universal mill (the body casting says 3H but the speed selector and drive appear to be from a CH) but I have a lead on a 3K. I know the 3K is heavier with more power at the spindle and larger table. I was wondering if the over-arms were the same diameter, though. That table would be so handy for this kind of quick comparison...

Probably this...

Have '39 and '40 catalog and also '57

3K was in 1940 - Plain, Unversal, Vertical respectively - 7800, 8250, and 8500

As of 1957 there was no K or CK, but the similar 4CH would have been 9250, 9600, and 10400

Both my '39 and '40 full line catalogs have the "hand drafted" pages - at least to the machine itself

3K and 3CK have much larger over arms - same as on 4H, and 4CH

That is exactly it! Thank you so much. I don't know why I wasn't finding it. I must have scrolled that list of publications for an hour this morning looking for a likely title. I've downloaded now so I won't "lose" it again.

Thanks John - that's what I figured. I always heard the "K" series was built on the casting for the next size larger, so a 3K would have 4H over arms.
