Mike, Mine is the same model with the oiler. the rest of the ways seem in ok condition. I think the bellows failed on the column and grit go in. Pete, I am not sure if the problem is just with you or others also can't see. anyway, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYJYqqWhyxM Phil, I was looking out for a capco when I spotted this. they seem to be very similar machines, I think the capco has a slightly bigger capacity |

The table is 640mm long. It's all in bits at the moment but the stroke must be about 550mm. If I had a big mill I'd remachine the dovetails on the table - but I haven't (mine only has a 300mm travel) so scraping is my only option. Cheers. Phil. |

hi all, Please find the next in the series below. BTW I am looking for an old (ideally a bit beaten up - save wasting a good plate) 18" surface plate to cut up to make a straight edge. Does anybody have anything that they would not mind selling for a fairly low sum? |

Hi there, Andrew, I've sent you a PM. |
