My Colchester Chipmaster is too small for some of the larger automotive work that I do so I have been on the lookout for something a bit bigger.
This week I picked up a very nice DSG 1307 from Thales (ADI) in bendigo. Thales are gearing up to make the new Hawkei vehicle and need the floor space where the DSG was set up. In the move they kept a larger DSG and sold the 1307.
Here is a quick summary. I will post more about the machine specs once I have read the manual! More photos to follow once I get it in place and cleaned up.
