<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 385614, member: 54&quot;]I didn’t know what all the controls do, even tho I have the manual for it, haven’t opened it, typical of me unfortunately, would rather push, twist, pull, poke and see that way first.&nbsp; Found this video of a gent using one and got some idea.&nbsp; He uses it in place of a few other types of machine tools, a mill in particular in this video.&nbsp; The machine’s design dates back to 1920’s, apparently.&nbsp; I have a smaller model, “no. 1 1/2” awaiting restoration-it is closer to fully-working condition than the no. 3&nbsp; I’m working on now.&nbsp; Moore designed these machines after WW1 in order to quickly and very accurately bore holes in factory production jigs and fixtures.&nbsp; Seems that Moore “thought of everything” with these-for example the little white dial you see on the video start page is actually a thermometer showing the spindle temperature.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]Ev5UBv53m2w[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
