Beaver home :-))

A few pictures are up at:

Nice!

I'll have to visit sometime to get ideas for replacing broken bits on mine (wheels instead of ball handles for the knee etc.)

We looked at the tool holding taper yesterday and thought "that look bl**dy big for a 30Int!"

Took a couple of holders up this morning and it is a 40Int, not a

Still, we have loads of 40Int stuff, including three or four new Clarkson Dedlock holders and a load of cutters courtesy of various people on this NG :-))

I'm not sure whether to be very impressed or deeply worried

It looks frighteningly like a street in most large towns in the UK to me!

I suspect Mark would know the people there, as they had a lot of 'his sort' of automatic machines in various states of assembly.

They were pretty friendly and no problem with rolling up and getting the mill out for me. The vendor had been on the phone earlier but they were a bit bust and there was some confusion over the reference number on the machine, but as I could positively identify it they just hooked it up and away we went :-))

I have an electronic vserion of their stocklisting if anyone needs it, is is an Access file, quite large at 700kb+

Don`t worry Charles.Recognised it because I`ve been at Redhouse dozen`s of times.He puts out a list a few times a year of machines he`s picked up at auction,machines that people have stored and then stopped paying him rent and stuff he`s been paid to move that`s too good to dump.All his machines are priced and he`s a hard man to haggle with but I`ve never worked out how he does his valuations.What I would call crap is usually expensive and vice versa.Philip the owner fell through the roof one year while on holiday(he spends his holidays fixing the roof)and survived with only a slight limp to show for it,very lucky,that roof`s

I hate you!

Mark Rand RTFM

Thanks. That's a keeper.

Look on the bright side Mark. You now know where there's a chap with a pile of unwanted 30INT stuff.

Regards

Charles

I thought their prices for some of the small stuff were pretty fair, although their main business was in the larger machinery, so the smaller stuff wouldn't have moved much to their industrial customers.

I have been looking at a couple of items already.... :-))

Peter

stuff.

Charles,I`m quite sure Peter will soon get rid of that lot.40 int a far better holder anyway and there`s loads more about. regards,Mark.

I'm only jealous (of either 30 or 40 INT) - some of us have to live with R8

Charles

I never go into R8 stuff, but Vince across the road has an Induma (Bridgie copy) and an Adcock & Shipley Bridgeport, both turret mills, but the Induma is R8 and the Adcock is 30Int. He was going to sell me one of the two, but prevarication ruled and he couldn't make his mind up, so I bought the Beaver :-))

I've ordered a manual and spares CD from Tony Griffith, so will be able to have a read up on the machine before we use it in anger.
