A year or so ago I listed my Sixis 101 Mill complete with collets and inclinable indexer. I’ve owned this machine over 20 years and used it once. It was originally made for Bulova in Woodside, Queens, NYC, When they closed the factory it was transferred to Hamilton in Lancaster, PA. He was a mechanical engineer who made up the phase converter you see in the pictures. The motor started out as 440V and rewired to 220V 3-phase. The mill works very well, I do not recall any play in the bed, it comes with a vise, a right square and a milling quill that was intended for cutting watch or clock gears. NO collets – they were 12mm. The machine is currently in a climate controlled storage unit. PLEASE, if you have any questions, JUST ASK!

Offered here today is a Sixis 101 milling machine. I believe it to be about 70 years old. It is complete and running. This was the smallest mill Sixis made, designed based the Deckel setup and made to compete with the Aciera F1. It first saw service with the Bulova Factory in NYC, then was transferred to Hamilton, in Lancaster, PA, in the early 1960′s. It originally was made by Perrenoud in Switzerland. Sixis has a great reputation for Quality. As I said, it works. Will need to be greased and adjusted. It comes with a mechanical phase converter. The guy who I bought it from was a mechanical engineer and made this setup. He also stated he had the motor rewound from 440v to 220v. He recommended that for best results, to use the mechanical converter instead of a VFD. There is a milling quill that was made from a watchmakers lathe, and indexing attachment, and a tray of 12mm Schaublin collets. It is all metric except for one fractional chuck. Collet numbers are 4,5,6,7,8,1/32,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,22,24,25,26,28,30,32,34,35,36,38,40,42,44,45,46,48,50,52,54,55,56,58,60, and 65. I will leave it set up for 2 more weeks if you want to see it running. After that I will dismantle it and put it in storage.
