Thread: One for Machtool - a Zenford Ziegler Mill

Thanks Bob.

For that sort of money, I might buy it and turn it into a letter box. I’ll just put a mail slot in the head.

Went for $2282.57, got a new letter box Phil?

T’was not me. To be honest, I didn’t pay it that much attention this morning, I was pushed for time. I have the Bride’s Honda in the shop for a timing belt. What a prick of job. I have 3 sore knuckles, and a lose of skin. I broke 2 - 19mm sockets and two ½” extension bars, getting the crankshaft bolt out of the harmonic balancer.

That machine is fairly late to have a Fanuc OM on it, late 80’s, but it has Turcite ways. I’d expect those to be in need of a look.

Do you blokes know that 100 x 50 x 900 hardened & ground straight edge / parallel I have. That was off one of those. They forgot to drill and tap the mount holes before it went out for hardening.

And I might say, that’s a very ugly machine, its had a repaint.

Phil.

I saw that but it was too late to inspect, the fanuc 0M was an attraction and the work envelope was reasonable. No room in the workshop at present unless the right machine comes up, I wonder if the TOS was bought for scrap?
