Hello

Hi

Just joined the model engineer club so I thought I introduce myself.

I did a 4 year apprenticeship with the civil service at the royal small arms at Enfield lock as a tool maker. Work in many engineering companies as a CNC programmer, setter operator and tool maker. 17 years ago got my HNC in mechatronics and now working for a small engineering company near where I live in Cambridgeshire.

I have a small myford lathe and a sturdy pillar drill for a mill.

Welcome along Andy, enjoy the hobby and banter on the forum.

Hi Andy What sort of projects are you interested in and welcome to the forum.

David

Welcome Andy, you don't play tennis as a side line do you ...​... be careful with that pillar drill, they are not designed for milling, not built to take the side forces...

George.

Welcome to the forum, Andy.

Neil

Thanks for your welcome.

David, iam not sure what to delve into, I have been searching for a project to take on and will be searching the forum for a small project weather to make at work or if possible at home as well. I have many different machines I can use at work so while I still young (57) I can practically made anything in any material.

George, I wish I had Murray's money so no it's not me he stole my name. The pillar drill is a heavy industry m/c and has been upgraded by my self so not a Bridgeport but suits my needs at the moment.

Andy
