Very old Pratt and Whitney hand miller. It came out of and old jewelry store, they had a small grinding wheel on end of spindle using it as a surface grinder. I don't know size of spindle taper. The collett that comes with it has a shaft on end the grinding wheel was on. One handle moves the table back and forth, one moves it up and down, and one moves the spindle housing in and out. It has one handle missing. The pulley has a chip , and was turned for a v-belt,but could still be used as a flat belt drive. The bearings seem good , The front bearing is bronze, and i think the rear is plain. The collett has a threaded holder that tightens from the rear. The base is 9 1/2" by 9", it is 17" high, 20" front to back, the table is 14 1/2" long by 3 1/2" wide. The unit has the pratt and whitney nameplate. This unit weighs about 130 lbs. This is a pickup item only, I will help you load. The table can easily be detached from unit. All question are gladly answered. Inspections welcome. This would make a real nice working collectable. Bronze bearing on front and rear both. (Antique pratt and whitney hand milling machine is the responsibility of Trudy Baldwin) |
