Vintage Horizontal Boring Machine; for Parts or Repair; Machinist, Classic Tool | eBay

I have seen this happen over and over again. This is what seems to be a horizontal boring machine. I am sure that it could be mounted vertically as well. Because of these problems, the main shaft turns with difficulty.

Wonder if its 110 or 3 phase ?

110 or 111, whatever it takes...

Come on you can plainly see the tag " 230 VAC 3 Phase"
Funny it reminds me of the old drill presses the farmers would have mounted to a beam in their barn......

If you turn it chuck up does it become a VTL?

If I'm powering it, it is running a bit over 240, if it's my wife turning the crank, it's running a little shy of 110.
Funny though, probably gets as much HP with her weight behind the crank

I'll try to get a picture, I found one of those locally and is on my list of projects to clean up as a conversation piece for the new shop.

I'm sure you could power it with a VFD.

I dont remember the brand of DRO but I took one off of one of my "older" machines

VFD stands for Very Feeble Drive

Oh, I thought it was "Velocity Free Drive"
