Once upon a time a little donkey went to see his grand parents and they had died. He was very upset and had to have a lie down to recover from the shock.

now a day late he feels much better as he found their wil which had bequeath to him 1 million pounds. Woohoo

the first thing he is going to do is pack er in doors bags, leave at the front door and change the locks.

next thing is he is going to get the builders in a get them to fill the garden with a large brick built workshop that’s is properly insulated and has central heating

then he is going to buy some big **** *** machines to play with

he will be very happy

Yes but not to a WM18, though I believe that its is a Chinese clone of an Optimum BF20, which my mill is.

I used a car window screen wiper motor and a tumbler gear to provide left, neutral and right traverse. I run mine from a variable voltage power supply usually at about 5 or 6 volts taking less than 2 amps.
