Things you'd forgotten you had - Volstro Head
« on: August 12, 2025, 09:38:26 AM »
Trying once again (and again failing to a small degree…) to create some order in a very overcrowded garage workshop, and as I pulled out numerous dusty things, I spotted this box hiding in the furthest, darkiest, dustiest corner of a shelf under the bench.
I bought this for my Bridgeport back in 2010, but then a year later I bought a Tormach CNC mill, so never actually got around to fixing it (it had 2 small broken bevel gears – I bought replacements, but never got around to fitting them) and of course never got to use it.
Bit of a rarity these days, and on this side of the Pond, but I expect that a few of you that have been around as long as I have will recognise it.
