Burke Milling Machine Restore
Home
   |
I recently purchased a Burke #4 Milling Machine. It is model B-100-4. The X and Z axis are hand lever operated with a rack and opinon. It appears to have seen very little work. The ways still show scape marks. It was dismantled when I got it at salvage cost. I have started the restore process and will post pictures as I progress.

    I had to make a new spindle for the Y-axis on the knee,     1/2 x 10 tpi left-hand acme, a new dial and handle.

    When I bought the mill the gibs for the Y & Z axis were missing along with the rack on the Z-axis for raising and     lowering the knee. I machined new items for each of these.

I have completed the restoration of my Burke Milling Machine.     I believe it is a #3 since both the X & Z axis are hand lever operated.     Here are some pictures.
