Anayak FU-205 arranged as a vertical machine Using a massive main column, together with the complete knee assembly and 53" x 12" (1340 x 305 mm) table from the Company's ram-head Type FV-4, the FU-205 was a dual-purpose vertical and horizontal miller that could be swapped from one mode to the other within a minute. Designed for faster rates of metal removal than the Company Bridgeport-like machines, if especially heavy work was undertaken, the machine was modified so that the operator could lock the outer end of the knee to a supporting post, held in a rather crudely fashioned casting bolted to the front of the foot. Fitted with three T-slots 0.6" (15 mm) each wide on 2.5" (65 mm) spacing, the table had a longitudinal travel of 31.5" (800 mm), in traverse of 15.75" (400 mm) and vertically of 19.75" (500 mm). As on the well specified ram-head FV-4, power feeds (driven by a 1.5 h.p. motor) were fitted to all directions of the table's travel but, instead of being an extra, rapids in all directions - set at a rate of 2150 mm/min (84.6") longitudinally and across and at 1075 mm/min (42.3") vertically - were part of the standard specification Carried on a dovetail overarm with 25 inches of travel, the head could be set to operate vertically or turned to face forwards and hold a horizontal cutter arbor - the end of which was supported by a drop bracket carried on the end of a top-mounted dovetail overarm. Fitted with a choice of either an ISO 40 or ISO50 spindle nose, the head could be rotated through 150° each side of upright and was driven by a 2-speed 5/8 h.p. motor that gave eighteen speeds from 40 to 1500 r.p.m.
