Didn't look that closely tbh. I'm a chippie not a machinist.That’s a Horizontal spindle ! Not vertical.

I once changed a fusebox in a house for a lad I know put a feed over to his garage wired the db up for him inside and fit a socket when finished he said I owe u one I just said yes 200 quid and that's cheap cheeky gitYou have people at that old lark too eh ? You work with your hands and you're treated like peasant.
The reason anyone starts a business, is to make money. When there is more money in buying wasteland, or industrial sites, building apartment blocks and flipping them for 1/2 million a lob, then you and your machine tools are yesterdays man. What happens when the apartment boom comes to the inevitable end is anyone guess. Its whats happening over here, very little machining or fabrication left, where there used to be loads of small and medium sized workshops, poncy apartments.
You wouldn’t have thought there’d be 2 blokes in a lockup turning out merlins in the middle of a rough part of Leeds, but there we wereThe small and medium sized workshops are still there up and down the country - just maybe more hidden. You wouldn't know there is a multi-million pound machine building place with its own multi-million machine shop in the town from driving down the main road - but there is. And in 15 yrs of working there, I only discovered a small workshop turning out components for the aircraft industry the other side of the canal the other week . . .and a two man band doing general jobbing the back side of a building I've driven past twice a day . . .

The reserve on the big grinder is £4000
Typical dealers, they probably paid £50 or got it for free and rather it went in the scrap than sell for a honest price
Stick buyers commission and it’s getting sillyIt'll cost close to that to get it running again! Pricks.
