saw that just wondered if there were better /cheaper optioms as if i buy it all from Waco its more than the mill ...

Have not got power feed because, from memory, are only supplied in 110 Volt form and the unit and the 240 / 110 volt transformer are quite a costly combination.

Go to your friendly local electrical wholesaler and buy a 240/110 control transformer rated at 200VA.....

if you can wire a 13A plug, you can wire up the transformer easy enough....

I paid around £30 for mine then another £20 for a suitable enclosure....still cheaper than buying from 'tool merchants'

No doubt other members will share their pearls of wisdom...

Hi Derek, sorry I don't know anything else that may be suitable, may be worth looking around second hand places.

Regards Nick.

Hi Derek,

just about to undertake this project. Bought parts form that well known auction site total cost around £70

I know someone has has built this and he's very pleased with the result.

Hope it helps,

Power feed

I bought a proprietry unit that bolted to the mill table, as it was a 110v unit, it need a 110v supply, hence the cheaper route of buying a control transformer rather than a 'proprietry' unit as supplied by the 'tool merchants'...

I bought a 12v 600rpm motor.
