I will say this, if you can see that 1986 date on the ETM tooling box, I'm guessing that's about the time George bought this machine used, so for 30 year's Plus it has only been used infrequently, and only by George!!! Look at the condition of the 30 year old Tooling! This machine was built when America was at it's Peak of producing Solid manual machines! To truly appreciate this machine, one would have too be an Old School Engine Lathe/Bridgport type Machinist like myself, Anyone knows any 50 year old Mill is beat!!! This machine is Complete, Tight, Precision, and Flat out Awesome!!! A little detail for those with appreacition, look at that Love Joy Coupling on the feed drive, it looks factory installed, you know they usually look like they have been run through the mill, This machine is like a Barn Find Harley!!! I know there are many that will say you can't ask that much money! Maybe your right! And I should just keep it parked next too my little 60mm Dixi Horizontal Jig Mill of the same Eraπ³
E M Heald Precision 500, Serial No. 2073, 7 5/8" X 34" Table, Guessing about 50 plus year's old, 208v 3ph 3hp, All the Related Tooling Pictured is included!!! This machine is all Castings and Weighs more than one would think, it's a bit of a challenge to move around. Not like the Machine's of Today!
(Some more of George's Tooling) πππ George was out of Wausau WI, a retired Firefighter! Turned Machinist! Up untill 82 year's Old, George was producing parts out of his Garage! He was known as the go too guy by the locals, if they needed a one off part, he had a Great little well equipped shop! Many of his tool's are like New! Or have never been used! George didn't like to pay Taxes, so he bought Tool's, Keep an eye open! As we will be listing many of George's Tool's soon, Hope you find what your looking for!
