Hey folks,
New to the forum, I figure an introduction post is only polite.
I've been machining for about ten years now, all manual stuff. By day I'm a mechanical design/fab guy, so I split my time between Solidworks, turning wrenches, and standing behind machines in the shop. I just (finally) found the winning deal on a Heavy 10 (which I've been prowling for since that first machining class ten years ago haha).
1966 vintage 10L, 4ft toolroom model. Immaculate condition when I found it. D1-4 spindle, came with a few chucks and faceplates but not much else. The ways are flame hardened, but predate the "Flame Hardened" badge on the front, identifiable by a stamp in the right rear way "DDB200RG."
I need to hack together a phase converter or spring for a VFD, and start piecing together tooling and whatnot. I expect to go through the machine bit by bit and replace oilers, clean things up, etc.
