Been looking for something like this. I'm an old geezer (93), retired electrical engineer worked mostly in control systems design. Got my first machine, an Atlas 618 lathe (Craftsman) way back in 1965 or so (can't remember exactly), and a few years ago a hybrid mill-lathe. Current project is trying to get set up after a major move ( sold the house, moved in with daughter and husband)..

Saw on one of the threads that you have a Tapmatic head you might want to part with.
Have been wanting to try a tapping head for small taps on the model engines I'm building. What would you be asking for yours.

More than resonable price !! What model or size range of taps is it designed for?

Some time ago I had a project that required a lot of tapped holes, so I bought this on EBay to speed things up. By the time it arrived I had already tapped all the holes.

I will post some pictures, the sticker on the unit states from #6 to 1/2"
Hi David, can you please tell me how to mark something as sold? Just in case I sell something else..... Thx, al.

You can usually edit the original post title.
I acquired a bench top milling machine built by B. C. Ames in Waltham Massacheusetts. Unfortunately there is no model or serial numbers. I believe it is a frankenmill converted from horizontal and fitted with a vertical spindle.

Does anyone have info on these mills?

I believe it is a circa 1910 Ames Precision Bench Milling machine with the vertical parts fabricated by a very skilled mchinist.
I can be reached at [email protected]

Where do you purchase urethane belting for a 9 inch South Bend in Toronto?
