Milling machine Hembrug FR1A
 
Hembrug has made a nice little milling machine.The weight is aprox 300 kg. The FR1 has accessoires to be converted in a vertical milling machine, a horizontal milling machine and a slottermachine.
The AI Hembrug was standard equipped with a 0,5 hp motor and a speed of 950 rpm.

Also standard was a coolant unit with a 0.2 hp motor.

Tablesize: 450x140 mm
Maximun travel:
x-axis: 155
height: 170 mm
y-axis : 100 mm

It was possible to have manual handle movement on all three axis. The wooden handleknobs on the pichture are not genuine

In time there have been quite a few modifications. I have seen 7 AI FR1 milling machines and all were different.

There was also a hydraulic driven x-axis version with an autoreverse function. And a version with 200 mm travel on the X-axis.
