First manufactured in the early 1960s, the miller was a development of earlier types and was to become the mainstay of Adcock & Shipley's range of horizontal millers. Selling in significant numbers, it was to remain in production into the 1970s, long after other models of a similar size were dropped. The range appears complex, but was based on a single model, the various suffixes simply referring to the type of table drive fitted. The miller could be had as a standard type with ordinary mechanical table feeds or with An interesting if expensive option, was the fitting of a complete J-Type ram-type head from a Bridgeport - Adcock & Shipley being owned, at that time, by the Bridgeport Corporation. The head added considerably to the miller's versatility being able to move in and out and swivelled (though not, as on some Bridgeport models, nodded). The head had both power down-feed and hand-driven fine and rapid action feeds and took, of course, the ubiquitous, widely available and inexpensive R8 tooling.
