Access all areas, it’s a bit like the gynaecologist who repainted his hall through the letterbox.
My machine had the Acurite DRO this is the Acurite Mill Vision and for it’s age it still packs a punch as you will see later in the article.
It takes me back many, many years, in fact 50 years. I actually worked on a what was known as a Beaver Mill. Mine was a Beaver Pal very similar to the KRV 2000, still a few Beavers out there.
Now, not without it’s sexual connotations it was an unfortunate name but I was proud of my Beaver, it was brand new.
At the company I worked for Sharnco Tools, you were rewarded with your own brand new Beaver once you became fully skilled and qualified as a toolmaker. You also got all new collets chucks and tooling.
Wow luxury. (Don’t let anyone tell you the 70’s were shit.)
