The lathe has been standing, unused, for 6 years in a dry workshop and so needs a good clean before being returned to use. A data pack with Operation, Maintenance and Parts Manuals is also included.

Elliott Omnimil 00 vertical and ram-head milling machine. A wonderfully compact but versatile miller with an excellent working envelope and the ability to tilt and swing the head.

The horizontal system motor and the suds pump motor were disconnected when I obtained it,  but I never noticed their absence.
