milling machine

hello everyone.
my brother and i got a milling machine a while back. and i want to know if someone has some more information about it (and maybe even a manual

). its a super vetta number 056 from the brand garavaglia. i know it was a company that made shapers but i cant find more about the milling machine itself. it has an ISO 30 taper and can do horizontal and vertical milling. i dont really know what more to say about it. so i hope one of you can find something.

The horizon mill is great.
Most today only uses vertical.
When in business I always had a horizontal mill to do all the work.
Vertical was only use for jigs and pattern work.

The downside is cost buy a arbor and a few cutters to fit on the arbor. I used 1" size arbor.

If need any parts you will need to make the part

Interesting design. Is the vertical head attached to the ram, or is it attached directly to the body of the machine? (It looks like the latter in the picture.) The former would give it more range; the latter would increase rigidity.

Looks like a nice heavy duty mill, very nice, I hope you can find tooling for that taper.

Its bolted to the body. I took a pic of it the other day in horizontal mode where you can see the holes the head bolts into

Quite a versatile machine.
I need one of those.

It gets better. The original grinding on the ways is still there. We got it with tools (although some dont belong to the mill) and all that for only 900 euro's

I had a Sajo mill like that, though bigger than yours, they are quite versatile, especially because the Sajo had a longitudinal axis that could be angled for spiral milling and such, having years of experience on turret mills, the thing that would have made it better for me would have been a turret mill head, so I adapted the head from a Bridgeport to mine.

Plenty INT30 (SK30) available here in the Netherlands.
