I recently acquired this 1938 model 2MH horizontal mill with the powered toolmaker's overarm. This is huge step up for me, the biggest machine I have ever used is my Bridgeport step-pulley J head. It's already been fitted with two VFDs for the two spindles, as well as controls mounted up on the vertical head. Very handy already!
Yes, it came with that monster 8" Palmgren tilt/swivel vise. Thing must weigh 250lbs.
You can see the VFD controls in this shot, the VFDs are in the sheetmetal boxes on the lower right side of the machine.
It came with a bunch of tooling and I'm not really sure what half this stuff is, does anyone care to educate me?
This appears to be some sort of quick-change setup for endmill holders, it's got no make that I can find on it. Just says Made in USA and some random numbers.
Absolutely no clue what this thing is. It has 3 small tapped holes on the underside and then a weird slot at the base of the taper.
This looks like some sort of face/shell mill holder?
Then we have this thing. No clue what it is, it's gigantic and very heavy (~25lbs). It's got a small dial on the side like a boring head would have but I've never seen anything like this. The seller said it was a flycutter but my brain can't wrap around how it must work.
