I'm keeping a casual eye on this mill [you know how it is.....] and if it doesn't go silly price-wise I quite fancy a punt https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dore-Wes...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 It looks to be in decent enough condition.
These machines seem to get an OK review on lathes.co.uk and being a Mk2 it'd be preferable to the earlier models? The question is, does anyone have personal experience of these and what are their views? I'd not be doing any heavy duty work on it weight-wise, it'd just be nice to have for those times when you think "I wish I could...."
I messaged the Seller for dimensions and he gave them and confirmed he'd be prepared to hold for a while in terms of collection time should I bid and win. Distance is always the potential 'fly in the ointment' up here, but maybe [] we could form a daisy chain as has happened sometimes in the past....?
