Deckel FP1
« on: March 13, 2014, 01:56:45 PM »
Hi,
my first post so just something to get the ball rolling. Here is a picture of my milling machine. It's a Deckel FP1. I have not had it so long and not had much of a chance to build up tooling for it. From using it only a little I am very happy, it is most capable. I need collets first of all - looking for collets that will fit in the SK40 vertical spindle nose. It came with some but these fit in the horizontal spindle which is a different shape - not sure what this is. Anyone else have a similar machine?

cheers,
Johnny

Nice looking mill Johnny. Could be an MT4 or 40 INT according to this:

Hi Arbalist!
the spindle in mine is SK40, either I need SK40 collets or an SK40 spindle adapter... - I know who to ask as soon as I get the chance.

Thanks! Yes it is a very nice piece of equipment...

cheers,
Johnny

You just managed to make me VERY jealous :-D

Very nice mill! I'm looking for something along those same lines, but they are rarer than hens teeth here in Norway. (Deckel, Emco or Aciera)

Hello.
Maybe You can join this community

They have a Deckel section and a lot of very

I don't think that English would be a problem.
