Tools and/or machines you need but don't (yet) have..............

so any project is finished quickly after starting it

Or even before, if you push the wrong button.

Definitely better saws but extra space comes first

What i need but have not got yet ? A dividing head and a rotary table for the mill, a digital read out for the mill and lathe.

One of those cnc plasama tables @doubleboost has. 4x4 would do me.

I just wish i had space for something like that, tiny shed and no real way to expand it. But i suppose i am lucky, i know lads stuck in horrible little human hutch apartments, you can do nothing.

Looks like I need to heed my own thread....

Thanks to @gaz1 I'm going to be the owner of a Quorn cutter/grinder which he spotted on HomeWorkshop and alerted me to. Made by the Seller's friend, now departed, it is in pieces so much head-scratching and fettling in my future is predicted. But for £20 + p&p I can't go wrong - the motor is worth that on its own.

That's 2 more projects added to the list, the bench press and now this , but it all keeps the brain active

Brilliant - now I know where to send all my old cutters when I need them sharpening!

Yes I need DROs. And a dividing head. I do have a very nice optical one but they aren't really designed for cutting gears etc apparently.
I do have a nice rotary table though!

It'll be a VERY steep curve for me, so don't be holding your breath - luckily I have a few cutters to practise on, once I work out how to (re)assemble the machine.

Looking for a cab for my 996 David brown, in good Nick if possible. It's a 78 q cab. Some days I look at mine and it's beyond repair, and other days it's doable...but short on time.

Good mill and a 3d printer

Good mill and a 3d printer

I have been working with degree students who seem to be 3d printing everything now, as its easy for them, do the drawing on the computer, hit send and let the printer do the work. But if it needs to be machined, or worked on further, its useless. I had one guy who wanted me to drill and tap a hole in the side of a block about 2" square, but there was a shell about 1mm thick and sfa behind it really.

Any pics Pat ? It might not be as bad as you thought.

I only have a short list of things I really need....









Time, space and money

Just not necessarily in that order.....

When asked what I would like for my birthday last year, I said a skip. Nothing arrived, so I hoped maybe Christmas present instead. Still no skip - perhaps my wife is overthinking the gift wrapping.
