Anyone know where I can get a set of instructions for the above, looks very much the same as this:-

The only web page that I've found so far which ought to be relevant is

but that just comes up blank for me.



Any clues?



Many thanks

Hi Tim

was run by a guy called Lloyd ... known as deckelnut on the practical machinist forum ... Lloyd lives in Preston .. the site has been down for some time ..months

send a private message to Lloyd from the forum and perhaps he will help you

all the best.mark

I can email the instructions for the smaller Christen grinder if that's any use (the one up to 10mm)

Charles

Yes please Charles, it might give me some clues.

There seems to have been a thread about Christen grinders on the pm forum, unforunately pm is down for refurbishment at the moment so I'll have to be patient on that one.

Cheers Tim

Have you tried Brunner Machine Tools?

They might be able to help.

I've emailed them. I bet they'll want almost as much as the machine cost, though

Many thanks Tim

I found Brunner quite helpful in the past. Spares prices are "high" but if you bought the machine for a similar price to a manual then I *could* learn to dislike you

Charles

Strangely my email to them was recorded as 'read' at 11pm yesterday, though no reply as yet. Maybe at 11pm today

Charles, I thought you got yours for about the likely price of a manual? Admittedly mine is bigger & perhaps a bit more complex, but it also cost me rather more than yours (about 120 notes). I still think it was a bargain, though I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Cheers Tim

Fair point. The capacity of your one is much more useful. I'd agree with you, a bargain
