ABENE (Sweden) VHF-3

ok, everyone needs their own milling machine, right? this one is mine - it's a horizontal and a vertical mill in one, NMTB 40 taper in the spindle, 6 hp spindle motor, 2 hp xyz motor, and a multispeed gearbox on both the traverse and spindle. Since I don't have 3 phase power in my shop, I run this with a simple one capacitor and one relay static phase converter off of 220 single phase.

Rockwell DP-10 - this is the old type 17 inch drill press - it's been repainted in Imron paint (I like that green color) - I took it all apart, bead blasted and cleaned everything, replaced all the bearings and broken gears, new belt, etc. It runs on a variable frequency drive (the gray box on the side) so I can have any speed I want. This is a huge improvement over the Taiwan drill press it replaced - the added weight (nearly 400 pounds) seems to make a lot of difference.

The manual and parts list for this drill press are available here
