Horizontal and Vertical Milling Two Machines for the space of one Swivelling Vertical Head Power Feed to Table Very Quiet in Operation Integral Coolant

Vital Statistics; Quill Morse taper is 3. The quill has a drawbar fitted. I have 7 assorted 3MT collets for holding cutters. Table measures 22" x 7" Movement of table longitudinal (X Axis) 8.5" Movement of table lateral (Y Axis) 4" Max air under vertical Quill end (this will reduce if using a chuck) 6" Max air under horizontal arbour axis 7.5" The vertical head is fixed, save the sliding qull facility which is lever operated. Total up and down movement available with the quill lever is 3", enough for drilling, spotting or countersinks. When not in use the quill height is lockable. Tool height (depth of cut) is controlled by Knee rise and fall, manual wind up or down. The table has two Tee nuts fitted which are 9/16" wide at the top and 7/8" at the bottom widest point. The horiziontal arbour has a key driven end taper, the type is outside my knowledge but I guess it is something like 30 Int? The horizontal arbour diameter is nice and civilised at 1". Cutters of 1" bore are the easiest to find, and hence the cheapest to buy. Machine footprint; 41" is needed front to back to allow swing of the head unit for conversion from vertical to horizontal. 33" is the width required, although more will be required a the front to allow for table travel. Overall height is 64". Background The machine comes from West German manufacturer Fritz Werner of Berlin and is known as the Rolls-Royce of smaller universal mills. These machines are a very rare find. The FW machines are not listed on Tony Griffiths' 'Lathes' website, otherwise research would be easier. They are typically well engineered but rarely sold in UK, especially when imperially graduated. Google will show FW as going out of business in the 60's or 70's. The machines' footprint is very small for either a vertical or horizontal miller. It stands alone (at working height) due to the one-piece cast iron body and stand, making the machine extremely rigid. All graduations are imperial. The swivelling (around its horizontal axis) vertical head will also rotate about the pillar's vertical axis, making conversion from vertical / horzontal / vertical possible in a just a couple of minutes. The horizontal arbour is included, along with a new machine vice. Power feed is fitted on the work table which is knee mounted, giving rise and fall. A full set of gears for changing the feed speeds come with the machine. It runs very quietly. It has a 2HP (1.5Kw) 3 phase motor which I run from a converter (not included in sale). Coolant pump and coolant collection is inbuilt. The machine is a joy to own and in VGC save some brown oil discolouration of the bright surfaces. I am loathe to part with it but I am changing direction by going into CNC so my workshop is bulging! Price £950 firm, buyer collects. Weight around 3/8 of a tonne.

The machine has a very small footprint. It is all Cast Iron which makes it very rigid, and consequently quite heavy. I doubt a wooden floor would cope with it. The bright surface staining is due to stale oil, not rust.
To change between vertical and horizontal modes the head is simply rotated. This can be done in a couple of minutes.
The swivelling head has large and clear graduations for accuracy. The lever provides quicker downfeed if required.
A full set of changewheels for feed speeds. The missing ones are already in use in the gear train. Changing the wheels is very easy.
Integral coolant pump fed from tank underneath.
