Harding BB4 mini-milling machine.

Built in 1943, high precision. Restored in 2015.
3-phase power using Teco VFD on 115V 1-phase power.
Variable speed plus 3 step pulleys.
Even has the original work light, the only one I have ever seen.
Includes vise, full collet set, arbors and cutters etc as shown.

My apologies for the sideways photos. One day I'll figure that out.

$2500 firm, cash only

The only thing that did not come apart was the spindle. Bearings run smooth and quiet. Belts had apparently been changed in the fairly recent past and are in good shape.

Sold locally.
I visited the buyer two weeks later. The machine was sitting outside, covered in rust.
I wish I had not seen that.

He also bought a nice Bradford lathe, same condition.

<sigh>
