There was a nice little Die Filing Machine printed in Australian Model Engineering.
Designed by Graham Smith, it is made from barstock and has an overarm.
Table is 140 across the front, by 130.
Here is an example with a few of my own little touches.

I'm guessing a vertical because the cylinder has a "plinth" on it....

An entabliature engine...say maybe a vertical inverted mill engine?
(crank on top, cylinder on the bottom...)
