[SzilosA]

Hello Folks!
Some mounth ago I bought an old milling machine and it hasn't any nameplate so I can't identify it. The previous owner is fully rebuild it and now it's in a great condition. I searched a lot on the internet and finally find this page
and there is a milling machine witch have a lot of similarities with mine. Thely did not respond my letter so I hope somebody have some information about the identities of these old machines!
It will be a great pleasure to know more about it!

Thanks, András

Posting what country you are from might help narrowing down the search.

I'm from Hungary but the other machine in the link is in Holland so it manufactured probably somewhere in Europe.

I can't help you with European machines, you may want to look through this site.

I seemed to recognize it... It is quite probably a Köping mill, Swedish. I have all of ONE picture of a similar mill, the locking handles for the over arm looks exactly the same, in the same position.

Nice mill!

Thaks Kjelle!

I searched around Köping machines, but i can't find similar mill. I think there is a connection between the modell Köping FHM, but there is a lot of differences. Can you attach the picture to a replay?

I have a Köping FHM.
Your machine is quite similar, but no. It is not a Köping FHM.

For pictures of such, just Google Images.

My not-quite complete FHM.

(Newly renovated, but parts are missing. It was repurposed by previous owner, who modified it and removed some parts and left it in quite miserable condition.

So i took care of it, but not quite sure what to do with it. I clamped a hi-speed spindle onto the overarm. Maybe make a cnc conversion of it? Or a ring roller? Or grinder of some kind? Idunno. It is a bit big for a paperweight. Better to make something useful of it.)

Kjelle, is the one in your pic yours?

[Kjelle]

Nope... Found the picture while searching for another mill, similar but not same. Check the pictures, this mill is similar. Not mine, but I found a buyer for the seller. There is a thread on Maskinisten, where this makes an appearance.
