Finally have a Milling machine, courtesy of John.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA horizontal milling machine
Picked it up last Saturday with a friend and his 8X5 trailer, got it home today Sunday, as he lives in Adelaide during the week, and comes home on the weekends.
Had to get an engine crane to do the heavy work, thought about hiring one, $50 for the day, I'd need to hire it several times to assemble and move the mill, plus the shaper and Hercus lathe, that are still to come. It's sitting under the carport at the moment, till I can get the shed finished. SWMBO asked "Why did I get it now?", told her "John wanted it out of the way as he's going away", "that's his problem not yours" was the reply, some women just don't understand!!!!!
Now the fun begins, working out what goes where, as it's in about 100 pieces, at least I'll know what makes it all work?
