I picked this up last December, I was able to purchase it from the original owner who lived near Philadelphia. He was in his 90's and purchased the mill new in December 1953. He was a tool and Die Maker and this machine was in his basement for personal use. You can see from the pictures that there was very little wear on it. It was missing collets, but had the fine feed wheel and came with a DIY vise. I have a 3" Kurt that refurbished and I plan to install soon. You can see by the badges that Clausing had purchased Johansson but used the existing castings and slapped a Clausing badge on it. You can see that the ways still have a good bit of hand frosting on them. I was able to purchase a table drive last week and hope to install this week.
I love this Mill. These pictures were taken just after I set it up from the move and before I wired it up.
Owner inscribed Date of purchase.
