Milling Machine
I am after a Milling machine and would prefer the following (but would consider anything) 240 volts, around 1Hp, metric dials. Also worth mentioning I
live in Blackpool. Thanks Ian

machine mart ? they might manage to supply
Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

Phone Axminster tools and see if they have anything knocking about, we got a small vertical miller from them - brand new but not in catalogue as
model number had changed, 12 months warranty etc

Arceurotrade
I have heard from a friend these X2/3 machines are good value (from China):
http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Machines-Accessories/Milling-Machines/Model-Super-X2-Plus-Mill
I have a Wabeco which is great but expensive German machine.
You can do limited milling on a lathe with a vertical slide on a Myford or eqivalent.
There are lots of big old machines that need lots of space available second hand on ebay typical example is item:270986867773
I got bored using a Milling macine by hand and converted it to CNC.

I,ve got one that looks like the one in the Ebay link above, its a bit scruffier than that but works, £300 collected from Sussex, £350 and I throw in
the 3 phase to single Phase convertor.

Thanks for all the replys, I suppose I should have stated that I have around £1000 to spend on the mill. The reason for wanting a second hand mill is
that you sometimes get extras thrown in! I am just starting out really (we have one at work) but I just want my own.
Mark could you send me any details/ pictures of your mill, my email address is eaian5@aol.com if its any easier for you, I really want metric dials
though. Ian
