I just came into possesion of a 6" Ellis indexer w/5" 4 jaw chuck, collet handwheel, 3 index plates, and some bits yet to be identified. It appears to be in good shape with a machine shop patina, not rust, and there is no binding or grinding when turning the crank. It also has the tilt feature. It can however use a good cleaning. All for just over $100.00, did I do ok? The ID tag states Ellis Tool & Manufacurinig Co. Alhambra Ca, the little bit info I have found on the net states a street address in El Monte Ca. Does anyone have any additional info the this indexer? Pics to follow as soon as the shop warms up just a bit. SWMBO mandates no tools in the house!!!! OK,OK,OK!!
Does anyone have clue about which collets fit, 3c? Thru whole is .923 and the chuck end is tapered. The handwheel has an internal thread, dia and pitch yet to be determined.
All help and harassment will be appreciated and/or tolerated. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Cliff
