An unused, mint-condition Micromill, found in Boston and modified by the current owner to mount a variable-speed drive DC motor and controller from Sherline. The machine came with a precision, swivel-base toolmaker's vice and the correct maker's indexing head and tailstock assembly and, perhaps rather oddly, metric feed screws. The headstock and the indexing head take 10 mm collets which a maximum bore of 8 mm - this being, happily, the same collets used in the tailstock of the owner's Levin lathe. While the very heavy - 50 lb - cast-iron maker's base doubles a coolant sump, the holes to secure the pump had never been tapped. With thanks to Dan Rowe for the pictures
