Ed Poore Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Ah but then you'd have probably snuck off with the G. Dufour mill instead then (sitting back corner next to the press). Bigger capacity than the Bridgeport and better suited to your garage because of the lower height . Also has 40 taper tooling so makes the Bridgeport tooling look like toys. Power feed on all axis too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your tooling 40int if it is I have a cutter holder that came with my original mill that is no good to me, yours if you want it. Tooling on my new to me mill is R8 Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bring it down to Summer Sisters and I'm sure I can make use of it. There no drawbar on this one so I need to make one, currently bought some ISO40 tooling but many other things getting in the way currently.

FridgeFreezer Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Do you live in the Tardis Stephen? I barely have room for the hobby-size mill & lathe in my workshop and you're moving in half a factory's worth of gear! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shaper was just a lucky find and at £150 I could not say no The Bridgeport was £510 with vice and tooling it also has a quill feed which I've been hankering after for a while Tardis, is full, once I get Sid finished I'm going to have a mega square up, I've got stuff I'll probably never use mill will probably not run until then I'm future proofing my future engineering capabilities...............heaven knows what you lot are going to throw at me to make..........lol Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Those were both bargains. I got my triple bank of elliot pillar drills and table for £150 and the donkey saw got chucked in for the same again but not a shaper. Bandsaw was £100 that was a bargain even if I did have to fetch it from Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the cost of 7.5 and bigger trucks.... Buy an artic and trailer for the cost of a new Ifor. The excitement of having a lorry soon wears thin with the maintenance. Had a Eurocargo for 8 years but changed to a big 3 axle tilt bed. Just hire something now for the odd times I need it and it costs less. Ended up spending more time on the lorry than maintaining the 90 we were competing in and the lorry carried! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
