Looks like a jeweller's lathe rigged to a horizontal milling machine.

I was offered a jewellers lathe not too long ago. Now I just have to remember who it was. If I can find it I'll let you know.

that is a Dekel made in germany and is first a mill and has had a tailstock adapter added. they are one of the best mills made in the 50's/60's. I believe they are still made and imported try googling Dekel/Deckell. They are not a knee type like a bridgeport, without a vertical adapter they are a horizontal mill only. The adjustable table allows compound angle work. They were the founding base for precision jig grinders as I understand it. Hope you have a friendly banker bought a used one in the 70's with vertical and slotting attachement plus three axis geared feed 100 grand+shipping, hope this helps art

Here I found out more.
According to the website it is a Swiss made convertible miller/lathe, I don’t know who is manufacturer.

Same machine used as a vertical milling, seen here machining the blank walnut stock

Milling operation on a rotary table, with the same swiss milling machine. Note the angle of the spindle for this special machining.

That is one quality piece, I want one.

art.h do you still have it?

Its either an Acera or a Hispano Suissa. It is to small to be any Deckel, even an F-1. Definetly Swiss by the look of it.

Scroll down and look at the Sixis Miller.

Stuff bigger than that is available, and a decent used Deckel with a known service history, well tooled, can be got for under $10K

Check Ebay. Reliable Tools usually has one.
