Wasn't someone else building a cnc on hear, an old Guy from Nottingham I think :)

Oy, less of the Nottingham, it's Long Eaton..........
Had to knock off and do a conversion on another machine as it was needed for a job, will be picking it up shortly, one more CNC conversion and get rid of this beast this week to the scrapyard.
Only snag is it weighs about 3 tonnes and I have to move 5 machines to get it out.

Hi
John
If you are scrapping it can i have the oil can and machine light please :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

You are welcome to the light, keeping the oil can though.
Sounds horrible scrapping it but truth is it's worth more for scrap than resale. When I announced I was scrapping it on another forum I got an email saying don't scrap it and if I could get it to Wales the guy would give me £1,000 for it.
That's the whole idea not to have tyre kickers all over it. Any idea how much a Hiab truck is to Wales and back ?
It's worth about £400 - £450 scrap and I keep the chucks, faceplate, steadies, which with a bit of luck will fetch £150 ?
The big Dickson toolpost with 12 holders is worth £250 at least and all I have to do is get it outside, they will collect.
