rather grubby looking but worth checking out I guess? cool combo horiz/vertical mill. 40 taper (looks like) and powerfeeds in all 3 axes if I am reading lathes.co.uk right

I've never used one but saw one in person at an auction I went to, it kinda struck me as a bit crudely finished vs other euromills - a swedish insta friend speculated that it was because swedish machine tool builders catered to the domestic heavy industry market - steel mills, lumber industry etc. but finish aside I think they're considered heavily built and well designed

Seems like a lot of mill for 1300. I think he is incorrect/misleading to call it a universal. A universal is one where the table swivels, not where it has both vertical and horizontal functions.
