Swarfing:
Found a link of one on the bay that shows the model i was thinking of.

dawesy:
Yeah could be right there. Would explain the hole below the head.

Swarfing:
Don't let that put you off though as you might find somebody would do you swap of the slot head for BP series 1 head?

dawesy:
10 points to Swarfing it is indeed an Ajax horizontal mill.
Seller said he had no idea what make it was a quick look found this plate

Unfortunately some kind soul has removed the pulley system from the rear. Sure I can remake it all and get it working as a horizontal mill again if I can find the sizes etc.
for now a strip down back to cast and some fresh paint is on the cards ( another eBay paint job :( )
All the ways seem in good order and the knee screw has indeed just come off (5 min fix) so good news there.
I'll update as I go.

John Rudd:
Bugger!.....Wish I'd known it was an Ajax... i'd have gone for it... :Doh:

I already have an Ajax, mine is an AJ7/8  but a bit earlier than yours...Cant id yours from the Lathes website....

Best of luck restoring it...keep the pictures coming :)
