A super-spacer is way up on my list of goodies to get. Very nice setup. The flycutter I mentioned, leaning up against the tailstock here on this 101 year old mill.
I have been looking for years for a little Mikron F75 mill to accompany my Mikron T90 lathe.
Those mills are quite rare and usually very high priced (at least above my limit).
A few weeks ago I found this little one on Ebay UK:
[
attachment=8286] [
attachment=8287]
It looked desolate and grimy, but a lot of elbow grease gave me a reasonable result:
[
attachment=8288] [
attachment=8289]
I still have to make a new motor mount, but it is looking a lot better than when I bought it.
There is a vertical head in the Mikron catalog, but since they went out of business in the sixties I doubt if I will find one in the near future.
I guess I will have to make my own.

That actually looks in pretty decent shape after you cleaned it up. Nice little horizontal mill.

That milling machine just blows me away!
I can't believe it's 100 years old yet has the capability of making helical cut gears. I'd kill for something like that!
I wanted a mill so I built my own.
1913 B&S #1-1/2 Universal with its vertical head attached. This might need some paint.
Norman, that is quite an achievement - really well done

EXCELLENT!
Now that you have a mill, it should be easier to build other things that you want. What is next?
