I wouldn’t call it a deal at $2800 but it’s an interesting machine nonetheless.

Caught my eye and I looked into it, appears to be a Soviet made machine very similar but not identical to a Deckel FP1. Notably both horizontal and vertical spindles are MT4.

If the power feeds are working it is a steal. It is not unusual to see a stripped gear in the ram (Y) or the table (Z) power feeds on *real* Deckel machines.

If it is just working as a mill with manual feeds, it is still prolly a better investment than a lower end offshore mill for more money.

Oh.... those Russians
The writing on the wall behind the mill, Those numbers and suspiciously eastern European!

It’s down to $1000 OBO

 

[Dabbler]

jeez, that is a good deal, assuming it can be run and checked out!

I would be interested myself if I didn’t already have a full restoration project on the go.

Wow, do you think they use that gigantic face mill on that little machine?

I wouldn't, but they might have.

For sure, that machine was meant for hogging at low RPM's back in the day. Worth every bit of the 1k if that's what someone was planning on doing with it.

You have to wonder what that chain is for that is hanging there.
