Andrew,

You will find it very useful occassionally. Is that a Mikron 75? That's now at least four of us with Mikron hobbers in this Newsgroup. I have a Mikron 112, as does Phil Procter, and I think Tim has one like yours.

Not quite right, mine is a 102, which has the benefit of handling up to 5" dia gears.

Does it come with any hobs?

Cheers Tim

I have some Micron spare hobs from a machine I parted out a while ago. From memory all fine ones 30 to 60 DP's

That looks rather nice :-))

Enjoy the trip to collect it, or are you having it sent up by carrier?

will I have to stick to micron hobs or can others be fitted

Mine is designed for 3/8" bore hobs, I have some with 7/16" & 1/2" bore which I use with a sleeve, no problem. Length of hob might be something you have to watch.

Tailstock for the mandrel's missing. Cheap enough though. Firm I used to work for had a Mikron briefly but sold it on as being too small for the range of work we were doing. Also had a couple of largish vertical Pfauters and a few small vertical hobbers (all running in neat cutting oil). Thankfully I was hired to do one off (mostly repair) work and seldom had to have anything to do with the oily buggers! Cheers, Scruff.

Andrew Bish> won this on ebay brought it a bit blind

Bit heavy for a hatchback floor, it's not hugely big. Not to worry, I'll end up that way eventually :-))

Bargain, even if it is completely shot, it will weigh in for more than you paid!

Data sheet says 26kg but work on 30kg.

OK, that's very kind of you to offer to collect and transport it back.

Where are you located? We would need to arrange a meeting point or I can collect from your place. Email me off-list so we can exchange details please.

Many thanks,

Peter
