    Default Milling Machine

    Has anyone heard of or know anything about "Emerick Milling Machines".
    They were apparently made in Australia around the early 1960s.

    I seem to remember mills with the spelling as "Emrick" no "e" in the middle.

    Your right about the spelling, although the change didn't bring any thing worthwhile up on Google

    I looked through my 1965 Sydney Machine Tools Expo catalogue and couldn't find a mention of them. (or anything close). Is it possible they were a dealer or agent and not a manufacturer?

    That could be possible, will have to check it out.
    It is a horizontal mill with a flat belt drive (3 stepped pulleys & a backgear similar to a South Bend Lathe),table has 3 slots for work holding , power feed is transmitted via a sliding drive shaft & 2 universal joints. Has a 3 phase motor
    mounted at the top (V belt drive) (may not be original).

    By odd coincidence I helped a mate collect one of these mills the other day. It is in fact a Tom Senior small horizontal. There is another on ebay at the moment. This mill is a small, old school flat belt drive with back gear machine. It does employ a power feed arrangement on the X axis. It has about 5" of Y travel, and a 1" arbor. It is a charming small horizontal mill.
