VAN NORMAN No.12 Milling Machine 17" X travel 6-1/2" Y travel 12-1/8"spindle to table vertical mode 17" spindle to table horizontal mode 8 X 37-1/2 table Spindle taper changed to R-8 (to accommodate tooling from Bridgeport machines) 230-volt single-phase motor (Visible on top in main photo. It has a smaller drive pulley than the original motor.) Serial no. 5128-12 Made in 1937 The Table Vise that may or may not appear in the photos is NOT included. Your choice of either the current main motor or the original 3-Phase motor will be included in the auction. The larger pulley that was on the 3-phase motor is seen loose, on the bed in photo. THIS MILL IS CURRENTLY ASSEMBLED AND OPERABLE ON SINGLE-PHASE 220 VAC EXCEPT THE TABLE DRIVE MOTOR IS NOT WIRED AND THE RELATED DRIVE SHAFT IS OUT. Therefore the table drive is currently manual-only. Reason: It's probable that the table drive motor is a 3-phase motor. The condition and operability of the table drive motor itself is unknown. We are also unable to determine exactly how the forward splined shaft's yoke attaches to the gear shaft in the back of the bed without slipping. Bids accepted ONLY from the 48 contiguous United States. Local pickup ONLY. Buyer must contact us and pay by cash or PayPal within 48 hours of auction close. UNIT MUST BE REMOVED WITHIN TEN DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE. NO COMPONENTS MAY BE TAKEN AWAY UNTIL THE WHOLE UNIT IS OUT OF THE BASEMENT. Buyer must provide the transportation, labor, tools and rigging needed to remove the mill from a residential basement that has a concrete stairway to the outside. A professional Rigger was engaged to bring it inside. Either engage an insured professional Rigger or provide an acceptable insurance certificate or bond covering property damage, injury or death that may result from the effort to move it. Unit weighs an estimated 1800 pounds. The base is bolted to 2 short planks with EMT pipe rollers underneath. The table will not clear the exit route and will definitely need to be removed from the base. It also appears that the top motor will need to be removed for overhead clearance and/or weight reduction prior to moving up the stairs. It's unknown whether the spindle head was detached in order to get it inside.
