It's recently come to us from a retired company director who, at 93 years old and with a house move imminent, has decided he's built his last locomotive - we've recently listed his Ajax, LMS 2-6-4T, Rob Roy and Class 08, all produced on this machine.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A MkI model, dating it as pre-1963 (although the design had been manufatured since before the war), it's in remarkable condition. The slideways still bear the scraper marks from manufacture, the paintwork appears original. The 18 x 7 inch tee-slotted table is in excellent condition, running smoothly on leadscrews with large, five inch diameter micrometer handwheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Whilst intended as a high-precision jig borer, many were used as light duty milling machines - exactly as this one has been. Of very solid construction, it is mounted on a cast iron box stand with storage for collects and accessories beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Belt driven, the machine is fitted with balanced pulleys giving eight spindle speeds, from 275 to 4250 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Spindle has 3 inches of movement, with the optional power down feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Currently fitted with a three phase motor which the previous owner operated from a phase converter - if desired it would be straightforward to replace it with a half horsepower single phase motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Complete with a set of 1\/8\" to 1\/2\" collets, milling vice and a dividing head fitted with three jaw chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Very taken with this one - it's a beautifully made, high precision machine in exceptional condition for its age; its compact footprint very convenient for a smaller workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019089596757,"sku":"9977","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/9977-1.webp?v=1779901750","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/linley-jig-borer-stock-code-9977","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
