Adcock & Shipley 2agu weight?

Blazemaster · May 3, 2021

I have been trying to find the weight of this machine, or any specs for it really. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot on anything adcock and shipley. Best I could find is it seems to be 40 taper and have a 10"x40" table. Anyone happen to have one of these, or happen to know how it compares in weight to a bridgeport? I have a small trailer that will haul 2500 lbs but if the machine is much heavier than that I will need to find another option.

No there isn't much on the #2 is there

A&S did not build light ..........the #1 series mills go around the 2000lb mark http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/10518/15241.pdf so the #2 with a table at least 50% bigger I'd allow at least 3000

If it’s the machine I’m thinking of, we had them at the training school I attended.
Going from memory I think Sami is about right at 3,000 lbs or a ton and a half. A photograph would help.

Regards Tyrone.

A ton and a half may be an under-estimate.

No experience of the Adcock Shipley 2 series but I helped install a Victoria P2 machine of similar capacity which was certainly less heavily built than the Adcock Shipley. According to a fairly reliable source the Victoria comes in at about 3,500 - 3,600 lb according to the lifting crane load meter. Which sounds a bit high, ton and a half or a touch under more like it. About as much as I cared to shift by hand methods back when i was younger and stupider.

I'd want at least 2 tons, preferably 3, handling capability on hand for that Adcock Shipley.

I can't help with any specs, nor have I seen one, but I have kept photos of a couple that have sold locally...if that helps...

This one has the serial number 743 H 2 AGU Miller, Date 4/56

And this one is a bit older and came with a slotting head:

Serial Number 256B No 2 AGU, date 10/49

Sorry I don't have any pics of the machine. I was offered this machine for free if I could remove it, and was only sent a pic of the model number tag. Sounds like my small trailer may be a bit light for this job, so I'll figure something else out. Thanks!

4,000 lbs maximum, probably nearer to Sami’s estimate.

Finally went and grabbed this sweet little machine today. It was a total crap shoot since I was not able to see picture of the machine beforehand, just a come and get it type of deal. It surely needs to be cleaned up before use, but it looks all there and nothing too banged up other than a bent handle, loose bolts, etc. I was expecting it to be a bit larger since the only other #2 sized machines I have are a k&t 2k, and a rambaudi 40 taper knee mill. I would put this machine between 3k-3500 if I was to make a guess. Now I have my work cut out for me for a few weekends. Still no clue why my pics show up sideways
