Looking at buying a k&t2ch needs some work need advice

[Cooped_Up]

I am looking at the 2ch mill and it comes with the vertical head, of course it's missing the gear which is the huge question I have, anyone know what gear I would have to buy for it to work. The mill is a good drive away so if I go to look at it, it's coming home with me. The ways seem okay nothing great, the coolant pump seems to be not working according to the post.

I plan to buy one from him myself for my 2HL as soon as I verify that my vertical head is going to be usable.

it might just be the camera angle, are they dovetail?

Pretty much, yes. Mine is 80 years old, but it sat for a while before I bought it.



I'm in the middle of doing a rehab/refresh (not a full rebuild) on it. Paint was a mess. But so far, only a couple of issues that I was able to resolve pretty easily. Please learn from my mistakes:

Dove tail ways are the best!

This is the opinion of the poster. Results may very.
Not available in all states.

Those drive gears are as rare as hen's teeth. Somebody is making them to order now?
