Van Norman NO 12 Mill
Well I sold my column drill/mill and replaced it with this.
The little Colorado was not exactly happy to pack just the base. lol
I figured I needed another project so the car is on hold until I get this monster is at least running. Once I get a little more free time I'll do a complete disassemble and paint it.
I have cleaned the ways on the knee, saddle and table. I have one VFD for the spindle motor now I need another for the power feed and lubrication system.
The mill is a 1943-44 I love tooling and other junk made in that era..
I have a DRO system that should be here Tuesday and I box from Home-depot to get the VFD some juice...

The old one isn't nearly as rigged or accurate, plus no power feed. This one will take bigger cuts has a longer table and a swiveling head. I would really like a bridge port but I just can't afford that right now....
Here is what my old one looked like.
When the VN are all fixed up they look, well still ugly....
