Then Steve Steven sent me copies of a bunch of Van Norman literature, including part of a catalog. When I started this website I planned to write up a history of the Van Norman company using whatever information I could find. Please contact me if you find errors, have more information, or just have comments about this site or Van Norman machines. The information on these pages is believed to be accurate but is not guaranteed. These pages are presented as a free service for owners and prospective owners of Van Norman milling machines. Page design and contents copyright 2002 by John Kasunich. I have gathered a fair amount of information myself, and other generous individuals have supplied even more. Like all web sites, this one is a work in progress. You can also check out pictures of Van Norman mills, find a manual, or read about the history of the company and the different models of ram type mills they made. You can figure out when it was made, what kind of collets it needs, and who might have tooling or parts. If you find a mill for sale, you can look up the specs here, everything from table size to overall weight. This website is intended as a resource for owners and prospective owners of Van Norman mills.
