That looks rather like a modern incarnation of the old East Germany manufactured Hobbymat milling machine.

The head & column assembly could be fitted to a bracket mounted behind the Hobbymat lathe bed, or mounted in a separate X-Y table assembly to produce the stand-alone milling machine. Much along the lines of the Emco FB2 milling machine, but smaller. IIRC the original DDR machine was a 1MT spindle, but I could be mistaken.

By the looks of it i had already deduced it was based on the Hobbymat/Saupe Mill. Those had 1MT spindles. The Teco has a 2MT spindle.

There seems to be a key at the rear of the column.

Looking closely at the pictures of the backside of the machine i am not really sure. Could be a key but could also be the acme thread for the Z axis.

I would look at videos to get a decent feel for the racket they make

You will also need to do sound reduction stuff, like rubber feet, some vibrations can go through an entire building

Can you hear neighbours washing machines?

My small workshop has fibration reduction matting. I allready have a lathe and so far so good there are no complaints altough i have done quit a bit of lathe work.

For the benefit of possible future searchers: is there a typo in the heading and, if so, could it be corrected (Teco is a brand of VFD).

PS Just looked at the link and it seems the typo is in the post - my mistake!

Yes, i'm sorry. Mistake is on me. Thanks for the input!

Hello Maarten,

This time in English since that is the language of this forum.

Yes, I have done work for Museum Speelklok **LINK** but that was a long time ago. I stopped with working for them, too much problems about money. After 41+ years I am winding down on repair work, done it enough and also because of personal circumstances. You can see and hear some work I have done on **LINK** Niko.

Hi Niko, that's impressive work! I really like the pin making machine.

Kind regards,

Maarten

Welkom Maarten!

I'm in Nijmegen and love this forum. I use my tools to make more tools and do repairs and modifications in and around the house.

Dag Maarten, dan maar even in het Nederlands welkom heten. Er is hier heel veel kennis en kunde en ze zijn erg aardig en behulpzaam maar soms zijn ze wel een beetje aan het gekken. Zelf zit ik in een plaats 15 km ten noorden van Utrecht, doe niet aan modelbouw maar restauratie van mechanische muziek, voornamelijk uit de 19de eeuw. Niko.

Dag Niko, leuk zo'n welkom! Ben echt een beginner, dus alle hulp en advies is meer dan welkom. Doe je ook werk voor speelklok tot pierement? Ben geintresseerd in automata. Ik zit oostelijk van Utrecht en werk vlakbij stadion Galgenwaard. Hartelijke groet,

Maarten

Thank you for that Maarten. I often holiday in Schagen in the North and have passed through Utrecht but not stayed.

What sort of projects are you interested in?

Brian

Utrecht and its surroundings are beautifull. The city of Utrecht is worth a visit! I am interested in Engines, internal combustion, steam, Stirling etc. Also automata are a field of interest.

Welcome to the forum
