Intended to compete with the ever-popular Bridgeport Series 1, several versions of the Milmor turret milling machine were offered, all with overlapping specifications and various changes during their lifetime. However, one common feature was that all used a V-belt drive head, with backgear, to give a useful range of both slow and fast speeds. The most expensive model - the Milmor - was introduced in 1965, but by late in the decade was being referred to as the  Milmor Super 16 when equipped with sixteen spindle speeds - or as the otherwise identical Standard 8 when fitted with eight. The table was a useful 50" x 10.25" (1270 mm x 260 mm ) with the saddle to knee ways being of the robust square type. On these versions some of the electrical switchgear was built into the front of the head - the early standard Milmor having a single switch and later models two, side by side.
The less-expensive types were also named according to the number of their spindle speeds and included the Milmor 10 and Milmor Super 10. These models were of less complex construction and used ordinary dovetail ways on the saddle. The ordinary ten made do with a slightly shorter 45" x 10.5" (1140 mm x 265 mm) table, a 3 h.p. motor, single-speed motor (with controls moved from the head to the left-hand face of the column) and speeds from 70 to 3000 r.p.m. on the 10. Living up to its name, the Super 10 had a full-size, 50-inch table and one certain recognition point, the table feed motor was flange mounted to the left-hand face of the knee (all other variants of the machine having theirs on the right, underneath the table end). Details of the vertical heads also differed model to model and, to confuse matters further, some examples were fitted with heads from other machines imported by the distributors.
A version fitted with an early NC control, system was also sold: the Milmor-Matic.
The Milmore is easily confused with the Sturdi-Omnimil range and, if you would like a manual for any one of these millers, it's best to email a photograph or two of the one you have.
