Otherwise you still need two drive pullies Try bidding him for the 2A knee raiser and the head for £280, you only need to swap your knee spur gear onto the 2a shaft and bolt in to the back of your mast. Would you pay £380 plus what your 2 cost for a complete centec?

608 forum posts 7 photos	The guy has made me an offer still don't think it's worth it . I think what I'm in the middle of making for the knee adjustment will suit my needs . I only paid ?60 for the mill it would be easy for it to turn it into a money pit if was to chase all the parts to get the vertical head up and running . The seller has the pulley and tensioner for the head . Sean Edited By sean logie on 06/09/2017 13:28:26 Edited By sean logie on 06/09/2017 13:28:41 Edited By sean logie on 06/09/2017 13:28:57
