(Attempt 2) Russian milling machine
Is anyone familiar with the operation of these Russian Stanko milling machines ?
https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-f...1820281606.htm
This is the same as one I'm looking at to buy, and I can't understand some of the symbols on the labels/panels.
Also need to know how to get the table to move under power. Don't know if there's something wrong with the table or if it's just me not knowing how to use it. The guy that's selling it owns a welding shop and he doesn't know either. I know that sounds strange but he told me that he bought the Stanko milling machine and a Stanko lathe as a package deal, and he never used the mill.
I switched on the table at this panel and can hear the motor under the table running and gears churning but when X, Y or Z levers are pulled into position the table doesn't move. (all three axis will move if cranked by hand).
What's the button labeled "T" inside a circle for ? ... or looks like a bolt.
Had the table gearbox set like this at the time. Is it safe to move these levers while the motor is running ? ...They don't want to move easily if it isn't.

"T" inside a circle , relating to first post.
Also needing to know : How does the motor drive the gearbox primary drive ?
Is it direct coupled ?, or is it belt driven ? or does it have a clutch of some sort ? electric etc ?

Your T inside a circle image on post 2, is that the actual image?
In your original post, the T appears to be the end view of a tap, so that the mill would have a tapping feature? Pressing the button would disengage the power feed down, allowing it to pull itself down with threading??
Sorry can't help with anything else on it.

My thoughts are that the top two dials are for centre position off and left/right of carriage feeds with the "T" button as a stop button (disengages motor direction so that opposite feed direction can be engaged). Lower row tap sign is for suds pump and beside it switch for engaging on/off for the travels motor.
Unless there there is another direction switch I don't think that the vertical travel is powered.
Peter Foo used to have a Stanko mill.

The T button will start the main motor when held in & stop when released .It is used to check the rotation is the way you want it ,speed is what you want & it is in gear correctly .

Well sometimes the correct speed from the book won't work like when using a Fin big flycutter out of balance so a quick spin up is safer than hitting the go button than trying to find & hit the stop.

starting at the top left of your pic.
1. Vertical spindle fwd/stop/rev
2. Don't know (but i think the Russian mill at work has the same button, will see what i can find out)
3.horizontal spindle fwd/stop/rev
4.table drive on/off (pretty sure the would be a separate motor for this, spindle needs to be running to make it power feed)
5. coolant on/off
From pics in link
leavers on sides of knee engage feeds
That's all i can decipher form the pics
