3 forum posts	I been offered a Sharp MK II Milling Machine made byTown Bent Engineering, the owner has no idea of its value (it was his late fathers machine) and I would like to make a fair offer. Is anyone familiar with the mill and have any idea of its value. I found some information on Tony Griffiths site. Thanks Jim

Dont know what MkII might mean as to level of spec. but power drive to table was an optional extra, which I have. Wouldnt give a thank oyu for any mill without. I have done lots of useful work on mine but you have to be careful in choice of vice etc as not too much clearance under tool with Clarkson chuck. I could be wrong but I think perhaps £800/900?? Regards, John.
