Hi All,

Found the Holy Grail yesterday! A local tool clearance auction with no catalogue pictures and not online!

Filled my Boots:

Itwas quite well attended but everyone wanted the automotive stuff and the tooling and machinery went for a song. Large Warco Lathe £500, Huge Warco Mill £350, 2 Centec mills £150 the pair, Shaper £36, all too big for me.

I got a BOC Small oxy/acetylene kit and 15 torches, Oxy MAPP set, 14 new lathe chucks, 5 rotary tables, 3 dividing heads, boxes and boxes and boxes full of instruments nearly all unused, some with bits missing as it was all chucked in together. New Dremel Kit. Boxed Mig Welder and supplies.

Only stopped because I had no more space to put stuff in the workshop!

Could not believe it!

Going to keep me busy for quite a while!

Cheers , Martin

Does anyone have any ideas whether the tool grinder is complete as shown please?

It works just fine, runs like a sewing machine, but faster! smiley
