Just agreed a sale on this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Milling-Machine-/252359022599?hash=item3ac1c51807:g:8y8AAOSwubRXEhXf
wonderfully badly photographed machine.
Localish and I figured worth a gamble. Any ideas what it is? Just browsing Lathes.co.uk to try to do some revision before I pick it up next week. Seems to have horizontal and vertical capability.
It may be horribly worn, I wont know until I strip and clean but it's more grimy than rusty as the pics suggest. The chap greased the ways before ignoring it and letting it get covered in grinding dust.
Annoyingly, I want to put it right where I've just re-plumbed in my woodburner - I'd more or less given up on finding a sensible sized mill, sensibly located and at sensible sized prices.
