Re: New boring and facing head
Great machines. So it is a D'Andrea ! I sorta cheated by looking up images of automatic boring heads and there it was. "W" ell I knew it was Italian. (right). That is a super unit and I hope it hooks up well/ works fine. There is probably a video of demonstrating the use and capability of this Boring/Facing head but if you make one, I'd like to see it.

I don't see the pictures.
Re: New boring and facing head
The first post picture displayed when it was posted, but when more pics were added by succeeding posts, the message you see was introduced. I've sent a PM to Plastikosmd suggesting that changes be made so they can be seen, but he hasn't opened the PM. I have no idea if we'll ever be able to view them.Richard_W wrote:I don't see the pictures.
Sure would be nice if folks hosted on the Chaski board the pics they want to post instead of providing links. All too many pics get lost as circumstances change, making links not a great idea.

Re: New boring and facing head
Sorry guys
As you may know, Photobucket is now holding everyone hostage. No 3rd party linking unless u want to pay 400$ per year. I am in the middle of migration

Sadly u have to click links atm

Re: New boring and facing head
Hi Plastikosmd, Your links and pics are fine and everyone knows the D'Andrea we are talking about now. When I was searching by your original link to a pic, I found different styles. It appears the later ones have red plastic knobs and traverse handle. So anyway, I like yours. That milling machine looks a peach too. There is definitely similarity to certain Van Normans-which is super also.

Thk u
I have read that the red handle ones are a bit lighter (not cheaper just lighter.)
This one is solid, as I get older I may have to use the knee to assist in attaching!

ok so screw photobucket, trying to do my own thing, hosting myself attempt...
Re: New boring and facing head
Worked out just fine. Your resolution was good enough to be expanded many times. That is a super head but don't need to say that. It is amazing how they work. Thanks for picturing it in use.
Re: New boring and facing head
I'm as impressed with the head as I am with that Abene. You have some pretty refined tastes in machine tools. I've got a Narex B & F head but it works differently with a stop arm instead of that hand crank. I wish mine was set up like yours and Rich's. The Wolhaupter, Narex and D'Andrea B & F heads all seemed to have taken a drastic price increase in the last 10-15 years so there still must be a lot of precision grinding and hand fitting of the parts maybe? None of them are cheap unless you find a good used one at a great price and most sellers now know what there worth.

That's some great hardware right there!
It looked to be about the size of a gallon of paint in the first pic you posted.
