[Danl]

I can't help but wonder what their horizontal mills look like:

Isn't the only thing that's new about it the fact that's its brand new as in just built?

Now I know where those Japanese manual translators from the 70s went to.

Stop nit picking anyway the vertical head is hanging from the crane on the side.

Wow - all that technology going for him and he don't know a thing about proper seat height...

Wow brand new shapers and planers!

They look to be fairly solidly built , the knee is well supported.
The only problem is they will be "imported" to many , but there is possibly lots of old iron been recycled to make something useful.

I assume you all think it's a mislabeled horizontal mill. I think that it's some sort of a "dual" mill. It looks like that block hanging off the arm on the left side is a vertical mill head that can be swung in to replace the horizontal arbor.

Just my 2 cents...gotta go get some coffee.

It is just that, but the "block" is a vertical attachment for a horizontal mill. This is just another case of mistranslation of technical information.

Mistranslation? Maybe but there are probably more English speakers in India than the entire USA.
