Mikron F75 Restoration completed.

[Bill YorkParticipant @billyork72513]

Well it is finally finished and standing proud in my workshop, I have to say its been a source of great pleasure bringing this master piece of Swiss precision back to its former glory, all that is needed now is to permanently fix the motor to it, this will probably be a variable speed DC unit that is small and compact. I have included pics of the finished machine in my albums so if your interested take a look. Thanks to all for the helpful comments and advise. I can concentrate on the South Bend 13" lathe project which I acquired last month .

Many thanks, When I first researched the machine it said it left the factory in its bare metal finish due to the quality of the casting and materials used,Having restored it I have been blown away by the quality of the cast iron they used and the precision.

Question

Why is there a cross slot 2/3 of the way along the table?

Question

Why is there a cross slot 2/3 of the way along the table?

Like the other two slots it is a V-slot that helps with alignment of the accessories of the Mikron F75 (vise, dividing heads etc.). The slots and the bottom Vs of the accessories were scraped for a perfect match and that makes alignment in both directions very quick.

Nice job Bill, looks great. I'm curious to know if the circuit board shown is for motor speed control ?

[Bill YorkParticipant @billyork72513]

Yes that's the central for speed /stop/start and reverse.
