[Mill] Fray All Angle

[Dr Stan]

Anyone else out there have a Fray all angle milling machine? Mine is a number 7.

You got that right.

This is from http://www.lathes.co.uk/fray/

I added a 3 axis DRO. One for X on the table, one for X on the top slide and Y on the saddle. Using both the table & the top slide give me almost as much travel in X as the average sized B'port.

Very interesting design, never saw one before. Mike

I have also never seen one before? This could be where the saying “over engineered” comes from! But, I would take one home if I had the chance!

I too until I bought this one. Found it via EBay in the West Virginia panhandle. Paid $400.00 for it then did a complete tear down and installed single phase motors.

It's not in order and I later added the DRO.
