Milling machine

[Tony Griffiths]

Hi bob, yes, that the case. There were many similar models: the three sizes sold by Warco and single models branded Alpine, Sealey, Whitecote. Excel and Ajax. The great advantage of the Naerok and Alpine - making them the least prosaic of the type - was the use of a bevel gearbox at the bottom of the column to elevate the complete column and head - this playing an important part in the usefulness of the machine for, instead of the head being able to swivel side to side when the clamping bolts were slackened (as on all other makes), on the Naerok/Alpine the alignment was maintained through the whole of the vertical travel.
