Combined raising block and overarm. This robust unit both lifts the vertical head 4-inches and can also be used in place of the standard overarm - so allowing the vertical head to remain in place during horizontal milling.

This particularly fine example of a Centec 2A "Universal" (swing-table type) came to light when it was removed from a hospital's workshop in 2008. Having had only very light use the maker's paint was intact and present was a genuine maker's raiser block and swivel-base machine vice - both surprisingly rare items

This 2A is fitted with the maker's "short" 4-inch raiser block. Later 3rd-party types were made longer and could be left in place to act as the horizontal milling overarm

Complete spindle drive system: the motor is mounted inside the cabinet stand and drives up to pulley fastened to the lower of two gearbox shafts.
The upper gearbox shaft both drives the spindle and provides, on a rear extension, a pulley to take the drive up to the vertical head.

Table quick-travel mechanism - gears to step-up the feed rate
