TS's new toy

(1/5) > >>

Twinsquirrel:
Some of you may have seen my attempts at buying a milling machine over on the HMEM forum some time ago, to cut a long story short I managed to buy myself a machine from flea bay that it turned out was bigger than the OUTSIDE dimensions of my workshop  :)  :)

Feeling slightly wounded from the whole experience I kind of held off from buying another, until now..........

I've had my eye on one of these http://www.amadeal.co.uk/xj20.htm for a while and was planning to order one next week, until a second hand one popped up on ebay a few days ago located about 3 miles from me!!

So with the seller duly contacted I went up to view the machine.....it all looks great apart from a small mark on the table and the low speed gear not working apparantly due to the a problem with the crown gear which the seller had but has not fitted. The best bit is that the price was more than ok.

I think the XJ20 is the same as the Chester Century, has anyone any experience or opinions on this machine?

Sorry for the over-excited post, I'm just a very happy-Modder,

David

P.S Will post some pictures tomorrow as the machine is still in the back of the van.

David the saying is "good things come to those who wait" and it looks like it holds true for you.  Congrats on the mill and here's to many happy years with it.

Divided he ad:
Nice one David!  :clap:


So, you made anything yet?  :D


How about now?


Now?



Oh, ok..... I'll wait till you've got it in the 'shop and set up    :zap:   ::)   






Have fun  :)




Ralph.
