This is a Dixi Precisoin mill. Comes with the original 220V 50 Hz motor and mount. It uses Levin Type "D" collets.

You can read a little more about them here.

You rarely see them come up on ebay, but when you do the prices are crazy. It doesn't make for an easy item to ship. With the motor this will be over 100pounds.

I've had this since 2017 and the project has not moved forward due to the fact I have enough small vertical mills. I just purchased another and decided to clean some space up.

Included 13 fractional collects, and 12 feet of watch makers drive belting. I did find a treadmill motor and controller that I was looking for back in 2017.

I thought I would try here first before posting on Kijiji to give you guys a first shot at it.
My costs are over $1500 on it.

Make me an offer.

Wow! That is a really nice tool. If only I could see a possible use for it. I see on the lathes.uk page a German collector is looking for one though.
Good luck on your sale.

This unit sold. It was picked up this evening. (The gent was working out of town, so it had been on hold for 2 months.)

Thank you for the ad space.
