Mill

[Jlg]

Pics 3 & 5 look like it's rectangular/square?

At very first glance I thought it was a Dore-Westbury which would command a decent price, but on second looks it's home-made in which case price could be anyone's guess.

@Jlg hasn't said what his maximum budget is yet?

Realistically my max I could justify on a toy would be £200

Realisticly you should pick something up for a couple hundred you might have to wait and watch a while or you may have to do a bit of repair to one. thats me dads advice and he normally is right 200s a good budget good luck

Be patient, picked mine up for 175.

Having the funds and a means of transport ready to go help when the bargain comes up.

Keep eyes on gumtree facebook market place and home workshop for bargains.

Today on facebook market place Ive seen both a very nice myford ml10 and an axmister vertical horizontal mill, ideal for the small workshop, not cheap but well worth a look if you are in the market for a small mill, unfortunatly forsome reason this ipad wont let me get a link.

I saw that mill it looks nice but I think it was £1400

 

[addjunkie]

Yes think so

 

[Jlg]

Yes think so

Sadly too much

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Also it must be nice having so much room

And the reason I laughed when you said so much room...
Snapped a pic earlier.

My workshop is a lot bigger but I don't think I have any more room

Once I've got my recently acquired free windows fitted in my shed a lot of that stuff not bothered by sawdust can be re homed.
It's worse than it looks ATM. All my winter acquisitions have been chucked in any old how to stop the wife moaning.

 

[brightspark]

the bigger the place the more you keep and don't tidy up as much , just started cleaning my sh hole err I mean garage out after a year . I can now get a car in but still 2thirds to get sorted

Lol. There my hobby tools.

Should see the pile of work tools mate. Lock ups heaving ATMATM

 

[Jlg]

Would something like this be as useful as a normal mill

 

[brightspark]

not a lot of use unless it has the vertical head with it

Looks incomplete, there should be a handle on the end of the table, or maybe not if the machine is small. But yeah you would want a vertical head with it.

Doesn't @Maker have a horizontal mill, and would probably comment on its usefulness or not.

 

[Jlg]

Its not tiny tiny it has a 2hp motor so I wouldn't think it's that small

Horizontal mills are great for hogging off big amounts of material, but they are nowhere near as versatile as a vertical machine.
