Lol thanks guys for your advice

Well I've managed to secure a Dore Westbury mill drill, well happy

Just a decent lathe with a good swing.

Hi guys thanks yes the bigger swing the better. Decent gap bed of some description. Yes we have loads of decent inverters in work. Allen Bradley and Siemens lots of spares lol. They chucked a load a while back. So yes I need to get my head round wirring one.
I do like the idea of having it in high and a speed control knob.
My other issue is my lane is narrow and basically in level and dirt about a 100 ft long so I have to keep the weight down
To get it in as it's tight get s transit up but turning s an issue.

Hi guys I'd like to say hi.
I'm in Bridgewater Somerset
I'm looking to kit out my shop/garage
To do some machining
Turning drilling milling
I've been restoring old vw s for years but although I get stuff machined it's getting costly.
I actually started life as a turner fitter. Hi using wards. Deane Smith Grace. Big Elliot radials an so on.
I've been a maintenance fitter for years as well as a car and bike restorer.
I'm looking for a mill drill any ideas.
Maybe a use full lathe for machining brake discs and drums
Facing flywheel.
I'd love a Myford super 7 but think it 'll be too small
Or a boxford but again probably on the small side.
I haven't got a massive budget and needs to be ideally single phase.
Any hell would be welcome
Cheers mark
