Can Anyone Indetify This?

[Old Megawatts]

This old dog doesn't even have a name on it that I can find. I am curious if anyone can name the manufacturer.
Thanks,

OM

Try asking this question at one of the dedicated machining forums, such as Homworkshop BBS or Practical Machinist. Some guys over there restore old machines as a hobby.

It looks like a horizontal miller similar to the Atlas, Sheldon, rockford.

You can look at the different brands in the "millers" column until you see one which is close to it:

Looks like a horizontal mill set up for slitting. Some used to call it a slabbing mill I think?

Wow, that puppy is OLD!! Yes, it's a small horizontal mill. Looks almost as if it's set up dedicated for using with an arbor saw. Most horizontal mills can be set up with an arbor as this one is, but usually they (the bigger ones, anyway) are set up with a Morse taper tool holder, so you can use end mills, drill chucks, etc. just like a vertical mill. My guess is that machine probably saw the Great Depression, or at least WWII. You can bet it wasn't made in China though!

Yes i is a bench top horizontal mill. Do you want to sell it?
