That's a beast :bugeye: 2.5hp? You'll have to be careful not to snap the bed in half! I don't think mine will be quite so industrial. How did you find it cuts now with the new setup? Have you done much low speed parting? |

(7.5HP, Canadian made, WWII vintage.) :D :) Often small parts still get made/fixed on the little 7x12 though. It's just so handy to get right up close to those small parts when they are being worked on. That's why I'm thinking of fixing her up a bit. It'll have to wait until the radial drill project gets back together though. (http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/american-tool-works-radial-arm-drill-209283/) Good luck with your project and keep us informed!!! Andrew |
