Old Horizontal Mill-will I Have Problems Drilling?

[brino]

by ordering a nice old
Prvomajska ALG 100, a Yugoslavian Deckel FP1 knock off, with the known configuration (horizontal plus vertical head) but also having a 75mm-travel quill!
Waiting for it to arrive from Germany now....will post some pics when I finally get it!

thanvg,

That name did not ring any bells for me, so I had to go look for some pictures. I found this:

and this:

That looks like a very versatile machine!
Congratulations. I hope you do not have to wait too long.

I very much would like to see pictures of your "new" machine.

What a well made machine , if I could I'd own one for sure. Good luck with it and hope you have many years of fun with it.

Thanks guys!
Hope it turns up nice, I bought it without personally examining it, but the seller seemed nice and kind and I trusted him. Hope I receive only pleasant surprises...
