I am having a difficult time tracking any kind of information down on this machine. No manuals from Summit, no online notes, nothing about a model UNu... anywhere. About the only thing I have found is a couple of machines for sale that are seemingly identical.
Probably a long shot, but if anyone has some any information on this guy, I would love to see it.
Summit Brand (Although Summit says this machine may have been part of Hart Ind. before/while Summit bought them out)
Built in 1968
Model UNu (yes, the second u is lower case)
10 1/2" x 47" Plain Table (No swivel)
5HP Spindle
1HP Feed Motor
Seems to be built in Italy (although a few controls are in French)
~3500lbs.
40 Taper (Horizontal & Vertical)
Power feed + Rapid in all three axis
25-1500RPM
3/8" - 90 IPM Feedrates
The machine is in running order, but the vertical head and X axis nut need a little attention. Past that, I'd like to get a feel for the machine in action, and if it proves to work reliably, give it a DRO, a coat of paint and a permanent spot in the shop.
