    Default New Scraping Project

    Seeing as how Ive been imbibed with Phil and Marko's expert knowledge, I figured I should start to look for a decent little project. Im looking to get one of these installed in the shed, once I find one thats second hand and the right price. Ill probably just use it to drill holes accurately and small milling jobs, yknow...nothing serious.

    I think you may have put up the wrong link there could be wrong?
    If you want one of them in your shed it's a pretty big shed then.
    Or am I missing something?

    I would be happy just with a shed that size.
    I could move the family home in to one corner have the other side to my self.
    And never have to worry about cleaning the gutters on the house again lol perfect.

    There's 3 nearly that big sitting in the Ford Geelong Toolroom. The big one has 28 metres of bed. Marko and I levelled and straightened them some years back. A two week job each.

    The toolroom has been sold to Marand. But who knows what 2016 will bring. They might need the real estate for some thing important, like a home makers centre.

    If you start collecting Aluminium cans now.

    Out of curiosity, what type and size of cutting tools are used on these massive machines?

    The ones Phil mentioned, how is the machining done on these behemoths?

    Do they use inserts the size of a big screen telly?
