Today I acquired...........

[25.4_mechanic]

about £25-30k those bema grinders here. very expensive. maybe cheaper in europe?

I just saw Stefan Gotteswinter's machine presentation and I'm still electrified:

I was alone very happy to have a
a) small,
b) affordable machine
c) very close to me and
d) from someone I know
e) found and even
f) got it.

And now I learn only through Brad's hint, what a hot piece this is .... the seller had definately no idea and he is a pro.

About the price:

Stefan tells in the video that the base price of the machine is just under € 30,000.00 plus tax.

In a German forum he also presents the machine, does not mention a price (envy is a devil!) but mentions that he ordered the following basic and optional equipment:

- The surface grinder
- Underframe (The machine can also be used as a table machine)
- Heidenhain ND7013 digital display with glass scales
- 5 wheel flanges for 20mm hole
- SAV magnet 200x100

... and he says: "all quite expensive extras, but fortunately only a few" - all in all he will probably have put down about 50k€ with tax ...


I still can not believe that I have such a close ancestor of it.

Granted: I still have a V-guide next to a flat guide for the table movement, not these fabulous linear ball guides (No talk of moving the table with one finger like Stefan, I stand in front of the machine, both hands on the table handwheel and have to move slightly around the bellows to feed or, like the day before yesterday, do the job together with one of my sons - it's fun and fast), no swiveling head, no thought of digitization and at least one working life the machine has already covered .... but it is at home with me.

Non greasable and normally inaccessible

Still it managed 145k with no maintenance. Last 20k in my ownership towing a lot.

Went to Lidl, planned to grab a second dehumidifier but they were all gone.

Acquired this instead. I have a lot of items that need repair or modifying and I cant be arsed doing it with a needle and thread, so it seems I need to learn this.. cant be that difficult!?!

That sums up Lidl in one post.

Go in for a dehumidifier, walk out with a sewing machine

My other half can’t use one, she always gets me to sew anything that needs doing on MY sewing machine as well as needle and thread. Learnt to sew and knit before senior school as my mum made me do my own repairs. The knitting has fallen by the wayside though

Both on speed dial?

Best advice I can offer? The pink bits are yours.

Although I did once earn a sullen teenagers awe and admiration after her mother dragged both her and her defunct sewing machine to me in desperate hope of repair (machine, not daughter…..well….maybe both).

Machine set up on coffee table, timing quickly sorted, and teen instructed on how to sew/thread/not stitch fingers to material. I then finished with a quick demonstration of all the different stitches available, while operating the pedal with my knee, while kneeling next to said coffee table. Definitely a “we are not worthy” moment, apparently.

Seriously, give me a shout if you need a bit advice.

Speaking of Marzipan ...

... this is IT for me

Simply marzipan, nothing else.

No chocolate, no other flavors:

The marzipan white bread from Niederegger in Lübeck, Germany.

One for Christmas and one for my birthday - the year is saved.

Not too bad if you buy decent quality thread.

Famous last words.

Details please!

2hp 20 liter silent compressor, as I do some work up in my garage which I'm running out of room In I needed small and quiet, needed it for testing tanks blowing down lathe, cleaning parts, plus cooling down some small parts that have got too hot while welding,
this does all that, they are expensive you could get a much larger one for the same money, I doubt it would run air tools etc, used it on the first day I got it to test a 350 liter deisel tank, so far it's great you could have a conversation with someone while it's running, main part is I can't here it from the house,
I do my best to not annoy my neighbours
