Anayak FU-205  arranged as a vertical machine
Using a massive main column, together with the complete knee assembly and 53" x 12" (1340 x 305 mm) table from the Company's ram-head Type FV-4, the FU-205 was a dual-purpose vertical and horizontal miller that could be swapped from one mode to the other within a minute. Designed for faster rates of metal removal than the Company Bridgeport-like machines, if especially heavy work was undertaken, the machine was modified so that the operator could lock the outer end of the knee to a supporting post, held in a rather crudely fashioned casting bolted to the front of the foot.
Fitted with three T-slots 0.6" (15 mm) each wide on 2.5" (65 mm) spacing, the table had a longitudinal travel of 31.5" (800 mm), in traverse of 15.75" (400 mm) and vertically of 19.75" (500 mm). As on the well specified ram-head FV-4, power feeds (driven by a 1.5 h.p. motor) were fitted to all directions of the table's travel but, instead of being an extra, rapids in all directions - set at a rate of 2150 mm/min (84.6") longitudinally and across and at 1075 mm/min (42.3") vertically - were part of the standard specification
Carried on a dovetail overarm with 25 inches of travel, the head could be set to operate vertically or turned to face forwards and hold a horizontal cutter arbor - the end of which was supported by a drop bracket carried on the end of a top-mounted dovetail overarm. Fitted with a choice of either an ISO 40 or ISO50 spindle nose, the head could be rotated through 150° each side of upright and was driven by a 2-speed 5/8 h.p. motor that gave eighteen speeds from 40 to 1500 r.p.m.

ANAK-MILL-12 bed-type vertical miller

Sold only as a vertical model, the ANAK-MILL-12 miller was a heavy (6 tonne), powerful, heavy-duty bed-type machine with a fixed table assembly and an elevating head - the whole arranged in the manner of a traditional jig borer - with the vertical ways protected by bellows at the top and sliding steel shutters at the bottom. Able to move through a vertical range of 560 mm (22") under hand-crank or power feed, the head assembly had a maximum clearance between spindle nose and table of 680 mm (26.7") with a throat of 560 mm (22").
Fitted with an ISO-50 Bristol-Erickson nose socket (no other option was offered), the hardened and ground spindle ran in super-precision bearings and had a quill travel 153 mm by hand or under power - the latter at three rates (according to the handbook) of 0.037, 0.075 and 0.015 mm/min (0.00145, 0.003 and 0.00059"/min).
Able to be tilted 45° from central in both directions, the head was driven by a top-mounted 12.5 h.p. motor (fitted with an ammeter to check the load being transmitted) that gave an astonishing total of 45 speeds from 45 to 2500 r.p.m.
Driven by a 3 h.p. motor, the massive 1700 x 510 mm (67" x 20") table had  1300 mm (51")  of longitudinal travel and 525 mm (20.7") across. The twelve power feeds could be set at either a coarse or fine rate, the former spanning 25 mm to 1050 mm (1" to 41") per minute and the latter from 8 mm to 330 mm (0.3" to 13"). Rapids were fitted at the rate of 2950 mm (116") per minute.
