I'm so happy for you! also, adding the catalog photos of the accessories was a fantastic idea .
congratulations! absolute jewel of a milling machine!
It is older than me - yet in better shape!
The difference between an FP1 and a motorboat is there are only two days you’ll be happy with that motorboat….. the day you purchased it and the day you sold it. You’ll be happy with the FP1 virtually every day you have the pleasure to use it, AND it will never go down in value 👍👍😎👍👍
I have a feeling that the manuals for that machine and all of its accessories would make a stack as tall as it is! But seriously it is a remarkable machine and I appreciate you taking the time to show us around.
What a beautiful little milling machine!
The FP1 must be the most versatile machine ever made. 🥰 The “footprint to parts and cut size”-ratio is hard to beat. And top level precision on top of that. 👌
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Very appreciated. Nice knowing that a machine of this accuracy and versatility is in the hands of an equally capable machinist who appreciates it and can use it to it's full potential.
I had forgotten how much I loved the design of the Deckel mill. I ran them back in the 80's a bit. So much for such a small footprint. Ingenious!
A top quality machine is not really expensive, you only buy it once an No time spent retuning a B quality machine, which eventually gets replaced. This is not a home workshop machine, you do high precision work oh very high quality where time is also important. Congratulations on your purchase. Typical German high quality.

Stefan, let me introduce you to a very useful odd English word/phrase: "kluge." Pronounced "klooj", rhymes with the sled "luge" and the size "huge." The boring head + taper + new sleeve + new drawbolt thingy... the word you're looking for is "it's a bit of a KLUGE". Otherwise you speak English at least as well as I do (and we won't talk about how horrible my German is!). Love the channel!
The FP1, still a dream.... Maybe in the future, I will get one...
'Will never buy a (fill in blank)." I've often prayed that every never I've ever spoken are finally behind me. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor? Nice machine Stefan! Hope it meets or exceeds your expectations.
Stefan, that FP1 is sure a versatile machine to work with. As You stated, it may also be all too versatile.
Thank you for nice video. I am using Metba MB-1, ISO 40. It is the same as yours. I am working more than 10 years on it. DRO makes this equipment as a rocket. Keep going! Best regards from Lithuania.
In the workshop i learned presision mechanic, we had one FP1, two FP2 and one FP4.
The Swiss Army Knife machine…never seen one, thanks for sharing
Personally I like more the fp1 with millilg table, so I have a good spot to put my ashtray...
Welcome to "This Old Tool room" The beginning of it sounded familiar! Lol
It's great to see a Deckel on youtube. I know how you must feel. I bought an imperial unit FP3 in 1992, and I love it. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
