Looks like a milling machine used for metal work. I don't know much about them others on here know all about them. Like HokieKen
What is this machine called?
I've never seen this one before, seems like if a router table and drill press had a baby.

I've often thought about getting an X-Y table for my over arm pin router to get the same functionality, but with an actual router speed motor instead of mill (much lower RPM). Problem I always come back to, is an X-Y table with enough travel is… ouch lol
I sometimes see them on craiglsist for not "too" bad. There are some salvage places that buy inventory from shops that close and then basically part everything out almost like a car salvage place.I ve often thought about getting an X-Y table for my over arm pin router to get the same functionality, but with an actual router speed motor instead of mill (much lower RPM).
