Model Engineers and Surgical Tool Makers Workshop
I'd love to know more about these machines, I'd imagine they are all high precision and expensive.
They look immaculately cared for and I think they have probably every conceivable extra. Look at all those quick change tool holders for each lathe

Thanks for that. All interesting stuff. I recognise some items but not others (or what they would be used for) any chance of a description of what they are and what they are used for?

I have added some details to the post above but I don't really know much about it myself nor the type of machines in general.

The overhead drive is probably for a TPG. Nice machines there......

They were taken by Robert the owner (George is deceased) and given to me on a USB stick. This is just a small sample of the photos. I do plan to take some more photos myself soon hopefully as I love old machines and seeing how people work in their own environment.
The photos don't really show it but this is all set out in a brick double garage with very narrow walkways between the machines. There are labelled racks of material and walls of drawers all labelled with contents and related machine. It's a fascinating insight that won't last and I thought you guys would enjoy.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Thanks for the photos Dale.
This looks like a Schaublin SV12 up to the vertical head and its drive. They look like something cobbled up. Do you have any other photos of the mill?

Bob would this machine me used mainly for gutting gears and that type of thing? It doesn't appear to have much work envelope.

Here is some of the storage I was talking about.

Any ideas on what all this would be worth?? I'm a bottom feeder so no experience with this level of machine, I have heard Schaublin lathes are highly prized, didn't know they made other machines. Love to know more about any of this stuff so next time I see Richard I can talk like I know something, not just the machine voyeur I am really lol.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

I don't think I've ever seen a Bergeon drill press. Thanks for posting.

Dale,
For gear cutting, the Adcock and Shipley probably is better suited. For piddly things too big for the Hauser, the 12 would be a good choice. The work envelope is small, a bit smaller than the 13's which is about the size of a shoe box. The table on the 12 shares the same cross section as Schaublin's 102 lathe allowing some interchangeability and ensuring accuracy. The 12 also accommodates W20 collets as do the 102 and the 13. The lathe pictured is the smaller 70 which shares next to nothing.
Have you looked at Tony Griffiths' website, the standard machine tool identification reference? http://www.lathes.co.uk/index.html
The Swiss Bergeon drill press is intriguing. Bergeon supply tools and equipment to predominately watch and clockmakers and jewellers. They show a drill press in their 1984 catalogue but it is small, 280 x 120 x 280 small. Their current catalogue features a pair of bitty drills but both are made by the German firm Flott. The one in your photograph looks more substantial. Stuff comes and goes..... makes it all interesting.
Bob.
