Description
This 1959 Schiess Model 13 EK 125 Vertical Turret Lathe (VTL) / Vertical Boring Mill is currently under power, running, and making parts. This legendary German-engineered machine is known for its incredible rigidity, making it bulletproof for heavy, large-diameter turning. The Model 13 EK 125 designation signifies a nominal table diameter of 1250 mm (approximately 49.2 inches) with an extended maximum turning capacity (swing) up to 1500 mm (approximately 60 inches). The EK series represents Schiess's classic, heavy industrial single-column (open-side) vertical boring mills built throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Key Features & Benefits
Key features include an integrated side head assembly mounted on the right-hand column way with prominent manual handwheels, and a massive cross-rail carrying a single swiveling vertical ram head. The heavy, monolithic cast-iron column casting provides exceptional rigidity for both heads. It retains its vintage 1959 controls, including mechanical feed selector boxes, multi-lever gear shift linkages on the lower bed, and classic spoked handwheels, characteristic of late-1950s Schiess engineering.
