Intro and Question About a Webb Mill

[bml6116]

..just stumbled on this site a couple of days ago while searching for CNC conversation information... what a wealth of information here!

A while ago I started looking for a vertical mill to add to my shop (mainly woodworking) to get into some metal working etc. I was looking for a Bridgeport, but did not find anything local. Well, I found a Namsun gear head lathe and a Webb 2VH at a local auction for very little money. Both machines are in good shape: no rust, but plenty of dirt. The machines were used in a pattern shop mainly cutting pastics and some aluminum.

The plan is to convert the both machines to CNC, starting with the mill. And now to the problems: I cannot find any information about the Mill or lathe. I searched the web high and low but did not come up with any useful info. Does anyone out there have or know off a web site, have a manual or parts diagram I can copy?

Thank you much in advance!
Cheers,
Bernhard

Which Namsun lathe do you have? I've recently gotten a older 15x30:

I have some data on this machine.
