Horiz/vert Milling machine nearby, very nice condition, 1988 machine. May be the last year of manufacture from this company.
Two belts of four on drive pulleys shredded, single belt on oil pump Broken, no idea how long it has been broken.
Oil pump is driven from main motor drive shaft.
So the question is, why would they design in like this and how long would it take for the main spindle bearings to go bad?
Is it worth the risk? I currently have a Milwaukee and a Cinnci # 2 and this machine is nicer than either of those.
The machine has some nice features including a fully articulating vertical head.
It is an ex high school machine and is a very high quality machine.
No power to test machine. Spindle turns freely.
Seller doesn't know anything about condition, acquired it to re-sell.
Thanks for any insight.
