The attachment, consisting of a shortened replica of the lathe bed and headstock bolted vertically to the back of the actual bed, worked effectively as the headstock was fitted with a built-on, all-belt-drive motor/countershaft system and sliding spindle, the design giving both the required drive and a vertical quill feed. However, Emco's first effort was not a complete machine, but a vertical attachment designed as an accessory for the Series 3000 lathe. Before that the company had manufactured just two small, self-contained conventional vertical machines - one also intended to fit the Emco Compact 5 and Compact 8 lathes and a "Mill/Drill" unit (also sold for use on Emco 7, V8, 10 and 11 lathes) that was to evolve through three versions, the final incarnation being the popular though very expensive FB-2.
