How cool you've chosen this engine too. I appreciate the recognition, and you have a good eye. That is a Burke Army #4.When I started looking for a smaller milling machine, I found that I could buy newer junk or find something like this.
You reckon your mill is small? I own a Burke No. 0, which is tiny. I restored it a few years ago. They're pretty rare I believe. Here is the very one, in pictures that I sent to Tony at lathes.co.uk :http://www.lathes.co.uk/burke/Don't know how or why it found its way to Britland - may have been something to do with WW2.The #4 is much more available in the USA and to me looks great. I'd love to own one but they're rare over here.Old British /American / European iron does not come without its own share of problems, but I agree with you - the quality and sheer beauty win hands down.
I’m following along also. This is really taking me back and jogging my memory on how I did things when I built my #6. Splendid work.Cletus
