I picked this machine up from a fellow in Sarnia for 100 dollars. A Burke #1 mill. It's been highly modified by a machinist to have full 3 axis control. (Normally these machines had lever feed.) No graduations on the handwheels but I am sure I can use a dial indicator for measurement. The spindle and arbor have been redone with an MT2 taper.

Burke #4 Milling Machine Motor Question

need to be: rpm = (4 x CS)/D this being a simplified formula, or RPM = (4 x80)/3 = 106 rpm. The countershaft with the pulleys works fine for this speed range. A small horizontal mill is nothing needing a sophisticated drive. The other point to consider is that the Burke Number 4 Milling Machines literally hung the drive off the vee belt.

I've had two Burke Number 4 milling machines, sold one, and kept one. The drawbar threads are, as noted, 1/2-13. On my first Burke number 4 mill, I machined a shouldered bushing to fit in the "tail end" of the spindle bore, and drilled it thru with a 1/2" diameter drill. Nothing fancy, just a piece of mild steel round stock, probably 1 1/2" or ...

Burke No. 4 Vertical Head Spindle Wobble

.002 is what I would expect from a Burke product with that much age/use. Especially considering that the rear bearing is not a tapered surface. Burke machines were never high precision. Could be slightly bent from a crash, could be collet deformation as Jim says. May have just been made that way.

General | Burke #4 milling attachment driving arbor

I used to have a #4 many many years ago. It had a #9 B&S taper for the arbor. I just made my own arbors,no big deal. To make the tapered arbor fit the taper in the hole,when you have set the compound of your lathe and are getting close to duplicating the taper in the hole,scribe a chalk line down the side of the taper you have cut.
