Jaroslav, is that a machine that you own? Is it a top or bottom stroke? Which part moves, top or bottom?

That is an interesting machine. The oldest I've ever seen.

Yes, I am the owner of this machine. I have no tools, only my work, but I try.

Jaroslav, your machine is very interesting. I would like to see more pictures of it from different angles. Trying to figure out how it works and what adjustments it has.

I agree with Joe. More photos please. How do the tools mount? No reason you could not adapt to new Eckold tooling? We helped some folks with previous version (bottom stroke) machines adapt to the new quick change tools.

Just because the machine is old, does not mean it won't work fine.

Jaroslav,
'BFW" was the original name of the Messerschmitt company (Bayeriche Flugzeug Werke- Bavarian Aircraft Factory). They were located in Augsburg just north of Munich. Focke-Wulf was a separate company founded after BFW. I once wrote a book on aviation history.

For all. ECKOLD own this. I saved it before throwing it into scrap. Those fools only saw the weight of the machine and the price for it. I think the machine could tell stories of the past ..... It is one of the oldest machines. Aries is a movable top and bottom can be rotated 90 degrees and create deeper products. Sending photo with the original shrink tool, but I own the spherical surface and the other in the head. I made ​​adapters for tools ECKOLD but can not overload the machine, because the runout - echo it sounds nasty.
I attach a photo of my machine and another where it is folded bottom.
I think you might be the inspiration. Note - machines are not for sale. I love this old machine.....
