Old Bench Milling Machine

[Micke S]

I've been offered this old and well used bench mill. It is not terribly good looking at the moment but I like old machines and will buy it if it is OK. It is like rusty vintage vehicles, you don't see or even think of pile of junk, only the possible end result...

Anyone having seen something like this before and can tell if it is something to have or not?

please take some more pictures of it and let us know if you find a name tag on it-----it sure has a lot of similarities to my small horizontal bench top mill that no one has identified yet---search for "anyone know which brand or anything about this machine" ---thread #18 has more pictures of mine--------on your find--are there any brand markings on any of the accessories with it ?----hope you don't pass it up---Dave

Thank you guys, I will certainly buy it if the seller doesn't change his mind.

I found real good information here: http://www.lathes.co.uk/hogbo/

You’re right, it’s a piece of junk! Have it sent to my house. I’ll take good care of it! But seriously, nice find if you get it. I would not let it out of my sight. It should be in your truck/car going home. )

Here is a pic that shows how incredible nice these machines can be.

I'm negotiating the price with seller...
