Cheers for the comments, i think it will be a 6" Creusen.
 
Intresting comments on Record, i have one of their Disk Sanders and not had any issues, they are also one of the few companies to offer a 5 year waranty.

Thank you for the info, much appreciated. I was think of Creusen but thought they may bee a bit flash. if its to be Creusen would you go for the bigger HP7200 or the smaller HP7150. the difference is half the power and 6" wheels instead of 8".

Cheers Ian

Thread: levelling

Thany you for all the hints and tips.  the reason behind the leveling goes back to my apprentice days and the old men who instructed us nailed it into our heads that everything in the shop had to be set up perfectly and maintained acordingly.  may be ott but i dont have the experiance to contradict this training.

Hi All,

Thank you all for all the responses,  firstly Jason you are correct i am getting the WM280VF  finally bit the bullet.  on a second note i have the Sparey book so i will be re-reading that.  as a note i am not initially getting the machine stands but hoping to utilize the following new workbench.  See it here. I have chosen this option to gain the additional storage.  if i do need the official stands then so be it.

regards Ian

Thread: Vice/rotary table question

Hi,
I would like to thank you all for your responces, they have been very informative.  I dont mind spending good money on good quality and it looks like I have a good direction to head off in.
 
Martin, i think you are correct in your quote to Bogs on another forum, but then if you only buy as you require then the cost can creep up on you slowly.  Here i have to assume SWIMBO will always know the total cost

Hi All,

 

I have just bought a new mill (Warco WM14) however a have a question around a vice/rotary table.  Whilst i appreciate good quality tools a also don’t like to over pay for what is a hobby.

>

Could anyone recommend from experience what are the best milling and rotary tables that are a reasonable price.  I am concerned some are just too cheap and others seem too high.

Thank you all

Ian
