Found a horizontal mill at an auction last month. I have seen very few horizontals in my area. Nice to find one fairly close to me. Everything seems to work well. Feeds and rapids on x,y,z. 8 speed spindle with 16 speeds on the vert head.
I have found some info on PM regarding the machine including a link to the manual and documentation in French. Google translate has become a close friend. I have done searches in French and found much info as well.
I am guessing the machine was build in the 50's or early 60's. The serial number is N 155 F51 with the 51 being the model number. If anyone can date it from the SN, please let me know.
Looked like this where I found it.
Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning 50+ years of petrified cutting oil.
Universal milling head came with a cool storage stand.
Tooling that came with it.
