Thread: Hello from Norfolk
14/07/2019 21:17:14

Hi

I'm near to Diss, so other end of the Norfolk. Thanks for the friendly hello. Have been looking around the various websites and this one seems very friendly. Do you know any active people who are near to me? Jon

Hi folks

I'm in the process or setting up a small workshop for prototyping. Would be nice to get to know any local machinists and engineers who are happy to give a bit of time. OR any local clubs or meet ups. I'm in the process of buying a Lathe and Mill... and feel I researched every option to death, and now need to act. I am trying to go for second hand and european made, and would prefer metric leadscrew. Ultimately I would love a bigger lathe and mill but need smaller combo to start with as present workshop is limited in size. I am thinking along lines of Emco Super 7 and Emco Mill. Need precision and threading etc.. and option for imperial threads. Been looking into a hardinge, but it's just too heavy for present workshop, also a Schaublin 102.. but really need power feeds on both axis. And with mills, did think of maybe a new Warco (which I know is Chinese but seem to be better made nowdays. Need to have enough HP to mill steel. Same with lathe.

Anyways. Thanks for time. Jon
