Pallas Older & Imported Milling Machines

Pallas Home Page   Pallas V1 Miller

Marked "Foreign" and not "British Made"  this round overarm Pallas miller (above and below in B & W photographs) is of an older patter than others illustrated in this section of the Archive. Despite being significantly different in many aspects of its design it does, however, show certain details that hint at Pallas influence including the style of the 4-spoke handwheels and the very distinctive domed top to the table feed-screw end brackets. For what would have been a lowered-priced machine the specification was very reasonable with unusually long ways beneath the table - and even a helical speed-reducing lathe-like "backgear" built into the drive spindle. The gearbox for the table power feeds was neatly enclosed and the engagement mechanism for the table feeds, together with its automatic knock-off mechanism, all neatly engineered.

A previous owner has converted one of the original flat-belt pulleys to a twin V

Helical "backgears" of the "foreign-made" Pallas miller.
