Just giving you folks a heads up....I just pulled one out of storage this weekend and will be putting it up for sale. They are neat machines and you V-N guys get very attached So I will offer it here before I throw it on Ebay or craigslist. Check the classifieds in a few days :)
 
Thats interesting, i just looked at the wiki for this machine, certainly a very stout looking machine. Something I found interesting, they mention that many use the mill for horizontal as well as the standard vertical position. Because the mill is on a ram, the head can be rotatedto act as a horizontal machine... makes me wonder if i can do similar with my south bend 4218... might have to give that a try. Very nice mill! Thanks for posting this.

Nice machines, wish I had one in the shop. I do have a #6 I'm planning to let go of soon. Best of luck. Earl
 
I threw the #12 on the classifieds for this page... check it out of interested.
 
Nice photos. Looks like it could be a nice machine.

Best of luck,

Paul
