The machine in question is my Dore Westbury Mk1 which is in desperate need of some my first machine and it was discovered to be a non runner and quite a few details were left unfinished. So I've cut my teeth in the machining/engineering field learning what I need to fix it.

I had the privledge of knowing the Arnold Throp who redesigned the Edgar Westbury designed Westbury light vertical miller to make it the Mk1 Dore Westbury (Arnold lived in Dore, a suburb of Sheffield). Model Engineering Services took over they later redesigned the machine to make it a Mk2.

There is not much space for the scales on this small mill, and there are many options on DROs. I would therefore be very interested to hear from anyone who has experience of installing a DRO on a DW.

I had made my Dore Westbury mill when I bought the shaper, an Elliott 10. . It has done some useful work as mgmbuk has described and I am fortunate enough to have the space available. Mine has the satisfying sound of a washing machine when it is running and just making a flat surface is almost mesmeric.

142 photos. The standard internal spindle taper for Dore Westbury is 2 Morse Taper, so any tooling for that will do, plus a drawbar of course to match the tooling. If the machine has been built to design spec. there will be a Myford size threaded nose on the spindle end which can be used to hold a collet chuck.

As that will be run at 450 rpm more power will be available. It also uses raked tips which should help. They will drive a fly cutter of this size. Part of my thoughts when I bought the machine were based on milling in a small lathe . 1/4hp motor, slotting 3/8 steel plate with a 3/8 cutter. It did it easily.

Put a test indicator in the collet or chuck and bring it down so it just touches on the table. You know have two planes, front to back and left to right. Turn the test indicator being careful as you pass over any tee slots. The indicator should read the same at all four positions, left, right front and back.
