I bought this boring/facing head for my HBM. I believe it’s Wohlhaupter upa2? I haven’t picked it up yet
Can anyone tell me if I’m correct?
Thanks

Picked it up yesterday. It's a Wohlhaupter UPA3. Works smoothly, is missing 1 adjusting screw and the clamps for kicking off the feed as well as the rod. No box either, but I know a guy who can make one. ;)Otherwise in excellent in condition. I'm very excited to use it but I'm heading out for a week camping this morning. I'll post some pictures when I get back, as I forgot to take some when I was in the shop.

A UPA-3 is a pretty nice piece of kit, and more adaptable than the UPA-2, by dint of being able to change out the shank to whatever taper you may want it to be, rather than having to run it in an adapter.
