Thanks Daveb👍 I wondered what the M was about, that's sums it up" Bridgeport on steroids😀

Ajax In 1979 the Compnay moved to new premises in Bredbury, Stockport and became part of the CEI Group, within their specialist engineering sector - a subsequent sale transferring assets to Graseby Plc. In 1992 the Company was transferred back into private ownership following a management buyout from the Graseby Group. By October 2001 the company was in new hands, having been taken over by the Viking Group - who counted amongst their acquisitions Startrite bandsaw and drilling machines. Now based in Birminham, in November 2002 the company was taken over by its current owner Mr Savin, (who relocated it to Hampshire), to be joined in March 2005 by the long-established Southampton-based machine tool dealership Semco Machine Tools ( Southern Engineering & Machinery Co.) The Company trades successfully to this day.

I was told Semco bought out Ajax brand, & moved south east of London, may of been Essex, read this on the web some time ago,, will try to find it again. You tel a very good story Nigel about your past I enjoy that, can you remember Condor milling machines from your past?.

👍

I'm also finding condor connected to Weiler this was my first thoughts,, but I thought they only did small bench type machines🤔 As well as lathes.

Richard" I can't for the life of me see condor under lathes!! I assume you are looking under C ? On the lathe section A to Z🤔

Well" thanks for all the info chaps, more than I know about it, I think Ajax went to semco and merged🤔 Kondia are Spanish & a very heavy nice mill, I like very much, I think what Al204 says, as I have not seen the condor as yet,, Al has, the condor is between Bridgeport & Kondia , will look under condor lathes @ lathes dot co dot uk👍

Thanks for the reply Clive

to me it looks like a Ajax or semco, someone built them!!! Who is the key. Was they 30int or R8?

I've repaired your batty Al😇

Are they left hand thread ?

I have been offered a Condor mill not sure of the age, I've been on Tony's @ lathe but there isn't one listed! Anyone know any info about then? Or a web site I can read up on a condor milling machine, I can only assume they where built under a different name🤔

Regards Rob

I have an fp1 stuff just gets snapped up & for a lot of money, I'm looking for a good Bridgeport or A Kondia to replace it nice mill but r8 or 30/40 int is more available bigger more power, eBay is as good as anywhere for stuff.👍

Al' did see that on page 12 but I though it ment a resistor, my fault, thank for the info & a quick response. Regards Rob 👍

I have a 4 kW huan yang inverter and I want to know what size potentiometer in watts I need for it? Also what size would I need for the same make inverter for a 2.2kw inverter?
