At the bottom of the page is one on a stand, that looks quite similar to the construction of yours. It's not the same, I know.

Good find, that is very similar. Strange that they didn't include the makers details on the side castings, maybe mine is a copy of that.

I realised the other night that this machine has probably been used for something other than a horizontal milling machine or a surface grinder during its life.
I was looking at the flats that have been machined either side of the casting with the holes all the way through, I first though they where merely for a guard but now I think it may have had a slotting attachment or a vertical milling attachment. Not sure if the makers would have modified it like this or not however.

I have more use for it as a surface grinder but now I have realised this I kinda want a slotter  :lol: must resist I need the grinder.

Could have been for the frame for a back gear pulley arrangement to slow it down  :scratch:
