Best thing I ever got. Once you start making stuff Miles you'll never stop.

and FREE. :)

I miss not having everyday access to a lathe, the old job with its machine shop was so useful for making bits.
Now I have to pop up to Dallas's and use his.

Hope you get it sorted Miles,
There is a guy that goes to the Kempton Park and other autojumbles that sells Myfords and Boxfords along with parts for them, next time I see him I'll see if he has a business card

I have just bought Nourish Race Engines and as a part of the purchase I have acquired a hell of a lot of lathe tooling, mill cutters, taper shank drills, etc. If you get in touch I am sure I can sort you out the basics that will get you turning, boring, etc.

If anyone in the DD paddock needs stuff machined, modified, etc, then get in touch special rates to Club members. We have enough machines to make a complete engine from castings and bits of metal, including the ability of making billet cranks!
