Refurbishment described. Thanks to Frank Graham . Frank provided the following description: ============================================================================== I aquired this small vertical mill a few months ago and have been overhauling it. The seller 'thought' it was an Atlas that had been converted with an M head Bridgeport (uses B&S #7 tooling) but there are no identifying marks anywhere. The table is 6" x 24" and has about 16" maximum clearance between the table and quill. I have made new Acme nuts and leadscrews for it and added dials (from a Stark x-y table) for the X-axis ( none were present when I bought it ) and I have adapted the crossfeed extention from a Logan lathe crosslide to the y-axis which provides a larger dial than the original and increases y travel to compensate for the M head mounting plate which moves the head out 1". This is probably a good point to note that the head is stationary and not on a ram. The original mounting flange is about 5" in diameter and has 3 screw holes and a 2" center hole. I have added the chip pan using 14 gauge steel, the base is tappered and appears to be a one off fabrication but nicely done. The motor that was on the mill when acquired was a 1/3 hp 1725 rpm unit which has been replaced with a new 1/2hp 1140 rpm unit from Plaza machinery which is the correct type of motor for this head. Originally the fwd/off/rev switch was on the motor housing but I have deciced to relocate the switch to a more convienient location just below the chip pan. I also made a collet and end mill holder rack from 12 gauge steel which is mounted on the front under the overhang of the chip pan. Originally it was painted a light gray color but I had extra paint left over from the rebuild of my Logan lathe ( see pics of it here in the dropbox, look at LoganB4.jpg and Logan2x.jpg, Logan.txt explains what was done ). When the mill was disassembled I brought the main castings to Dave Sobel but he didn't recognize it. Does this unit look familiar to anyone?? What is it?? Thanks for any help. Frank
