Thanks for the memories - the shop I served my apprentiship with had an American Pacemaker about one or two sizes bigger. What a sweet machine! Toolsteel replaceable ways, 27 speed gearbox you can shift with just 2 levers. That was a big machine, but it would spool up to 2000 rpm. Once had a fellow worker brag how he was using the highest feed on it - not likely! .094"/rev! It had some very neat features, like a cross slide stop which allowed about 3 revs of the handwheel to a positive stop, great for threading, just do yourinfeed with the compound. It was a monster, but it was my favourite machine. Thanks for sharing, and beautiful work!
