Tom Senior's first milling machines were a pair of small, very-well made but light-duty flat-belt drive horizontal models - with traditional round overarms - for mounting over the front edge of a bench.  The "S" Type was designed for model and other types of light engineering - even so, the table was enormously deep and end of the main spindle incorporated both a No. 2 Morse taper and a drive slot, so easing the direct load on the taper under heavier cuts. The 1.25" diameter spindle bearings, protected by dust covers and felt seals, were in bronze and two Hoffman ball thrust races absorbed spindle axial loads both directions. However, one weakness of the design was the use of a hardened point on the end of the drop bracket (instead of a proper bearing) to support the arbor. With not only a significantly better cosmetic appearance than other small millers on the market, all the sliding surfaces were also ground and then hand frosted - and with the exterior surfaces of the 14.5" x 3.625" table also finish ground. The square-thread 10 tpi feed screws were not fitted with micrometer dials - though they could be supplied at extra cost, as could (in the absence of a backgear for slow speeds) a large drive pulley to fit on the end of the spindle. Early tables had just one T-lot - later ones had three - with movements of 4 inches across, 12 inches laterally and 10 inches vertically; the flat-belt drive cone pulley had diameters of 6 inches, 4.5 inches and 3 inches - and accepted a belt 1.25 inches wide. The machine weighed approximately 100 lbs.
Senior's other early miller was a rather more robust and better-specified machine, the "Heavy Bench", available in two sizes the No. 0 and the No. 1. This was of -  but this was an industrial-class model and, with its self-contained drive system, a heavy cast-iron main column and an unusually large base that held the motor and coolant equipment, was more like the machines made by Senior during the 1950s .

Note the simple means of supporting the arbor end.

Tom Senior "Heavy Bench" horizontal miller with backgear and power feed to the table. This was available as either a No. 1 or No. 2 Model. Exhibiting all the qualities of later Tom Senior products this belt-drive, backgeared miller was both well made and finished. Note the design of the feed screw flanges at the end of the table and knee. However, even by the standards of the late 1930s, it was of a distinctly old-fashioned appearance with small micrometer dials.

Tom Senior Model "0" and (another, different) Model "1". The former had a table of 15.5" x 4" (power-driven from a 3-step pulley and round leather belt) with three T slots and movements of 4 inches across, 12 inches laterally and 8 inches vertically. The spindle, fitted with a slotted drive end and a No. 2 Morse taper, was driven by a 1" wide flat belt and incorporated a lathe-like backgear assembly in its drive. The spindle-speed range depended on the type of countershaft employed - normally a remotely-mounted wall or ceiling unit - but could range from as low as 25 to as high as 1000 rpm. The machine's overall dimensions were 20" wide by 24" back to front and 24" high; complete with a countershaft the weight was 196 lbs.
Looking almost identical to the Model "0" the Model "1" was 8 inches wider, 12 inches deep, 8 inches higher weighed (with its larger countershaft) an extra 144 lbs. The 23" x 6" table had 6 inches of cross travel, 17 inches of lateral and 11 inches of vertical. The spindle was increased in size to accept a No. 3 Morse taper (with a drive key) and the flat-belt drive cone pulley had steps of 5.5", 4.5" and 3.5" driven by a 1.5" wide belt.
Both millers could be fitted to a compact, cast-iron stand which carried the Senior name cast into the side; strangely, apart from some vertical and slotting heads, no Senior miller of any age appears to have carried its maker's name cast into or fastened to the main components.
