New to me Mill

(1/2) > >>

gldavison:
I finally snagged me a knee mill. Lagun FTV-1.  Going to order a VFD , and a DRO next week.




 The seller inherited  it from his farther who bought it new.  He is sure there is a manual ,but hasn't found it yet.
In the mean time I would like to move the ram, but not sure how it is locked.



 I've loosened the two nuts on either side of the crank handle (red arrows) and it will not move.  The ways are completely dry, So it   has not moved in many years. Some way lube will be applied.
I got on Lagun's web thinking I might find date of manufacture.  That web site sucks.
My serial # SE8511
All help appreciated.

Gary

Did get a hit on this one - the bottom looks the same - but different head :

I'm not sure the are useful - and you may have found them already .....
No matter - a nice find and congratulations  :cheers:
