Benchtop Horizontal Mill, is it worth it?

It occupies little more floor space than my Benchmaster but it is several times heavier. I've learned that once it's in place, that weight is a big advantage. It stands solid as a mill should, not skipping about like a dancing partner. I still love my first mill, the Benchmaster, had it thirty plus years but I haven't used it since I got the $1 ...

Value of machine Benchmaster Vertical Mill

The Rusnok head is a good candidate to put on a Benchmaster or other small mill that lacks a quill, or to add a vertical head to a small horizontal mill. While small, it is much more suited in scale to the smaller mills than the Bridgeport heads, although I have seen "Benchports", and they seem to work OK, even if rather top-heavy.

Benchmaster Vertical Milling Machines

The Benchmaster is a good little horizontal mill, but it is little. The vertcal head for these is rather limited IIRC. You can convert any of the smaller horizontal mills to a high speed verical head like the Rusnok. (1/4hp, "Y" collets up to 1/2", 280 - 4800 rpm, and 1.5" of quill travel.) I had one on my Benchmaster, but it was lacking in Z.

Benchmaster spindle/bearing advice requested

Messages. 415. Feb 16, 2013. #1. Good evening, all. I'm spiffing up the little Benchmaster horizontal I recently picked up, and I'm at the point where I could use some advice regarding the spindle and bearings. The rear bearing is off, but the front is not. I tapped the spindle out which obviously removed the rear bearing, and as there seemed ...

Benchmaster Mill: Should I Use This Motor? | The Hobby …

The motor I prefer to use is this one: GE 1/2 HP. Dual speed 1725/1140. Rated 1/2 or 1/6 HP. I presume the 1/6 is at 1140. Seems like it should be the opposite. It was originally a fan motor for an evaporative cooler. It's a nice motor that fits the machine well. It came with a push-button switch for Hi, Lo and Pump (not used) which could be ...

WANTED

I have a Benchmaster myself. It has a heavy table, and I scraped mine into good alignment, so it is pretty chatter-free, as mills that size go. But one of the usual advantages of a vertical mill these days IS the quill, and what having that does for you. I seriously question the price vs what you get as far as an actual machine.

Benchmaster Horizontal Mill---Questions Abound

Okay, I'll see what I can dig up. The step pulley looks like the vertical mill attachment. You remove the horizontal and put in the vert (easier said than done.) The motor mount is hinged so it provides belt tension by gravity in vert mode. you don't use the swivel in horizontal mode (at least mine doesn't.)

Benchmaster mill | BladeForums

Sep 29, 2014. #2. Yes it will do very nicely. I have one. It is actually a pretty rigid little knee mill. I am assuming it is the vertical mill and not the horizontal setup. Lots of limitations on it with it being so small ( 6" x 18" table, not much height from table to cutter, MT2 collets, etc.) but it really does a great job with the ...

Benchmaster Milling Machine

This should allow you to reach through the collet and drive the end mill out of the collet releasing internal pressure on the collet allowing easy removal of the collet.
