Thank you for all of your responses.

Clive/Nigel, i think the weights i will be using are quite safe! (Doubtful i will ever go over 100kg).

Bazyle, its one with dovetails and the knee is motorised, but can also be operated with a handle.

Not Done It Yet, The table is 50 inches, so clamping and placement should be good for my modelling needs!

seems extreme for such a large machine, when i mostly do odds and ends, 7 1/4 gauge railway, and Mk1 Mini restoration work, but i had a small Warco, but that was too small, then this elliott is available, close to home and a good price, so hard to refuse!

Thank you Old Mart, and thank you for your welcome.

it is a big machine, (same size as a bridgeport), so i know its sturdy but i dont want to risk putting too much weight on it! My rotary table and dividing head are not going to be a problem then! (Less than 50kg) and i dont do real heavy work.. i find it odd the manual did not say its limitations!

thank you again!

Good afternoon all,

I have just purchased an Elliott Supamill 10, i have the manual, but it does not say how much weight the table can hold, Does anyone have any suggestions or can help?

thank you!

Thank you for all of the replies, you have all been of great help! And its all done. (Sorry for the late response, i am moving house, and its been a nightmare, forgetting how heavy some of my machinery is!)

Thank You Simon, i see the bit now! The manual does not help much here! Even on how much oil the headstock and gearbox hold.. (luckily i found the answers to that on here in another post!).

Much appreciated and thank you again,

nick.

Good afternoon all,

After a while of reading the manual and googling, i am a bit stuck..

I have a colchester 1600 bantam, i need to fill the headstock and gearbox with oil, headstock is fine, a nice big cap to unscrew to fill it, perfect, but, i cannot see where i fill the screw cutting gearbox?

can anyone shed some light to help?

thank you!
