Been a few years since I've been active, last posted from California. Settled into rural NSW April 2014. Has taken a while, but finally got all my tools and tooling shipped over recently.
All in storage as I'm working on turning a backyard carport into a proper shed. So be a while before I'm looking for a mill and lathe again, but want to start looking, get an idea what I can
expect to pay come the day. Looking for recommendations on reputable used machinery dealers.
Most of the Bridgeport type mills I've seen on eBay have 30 taper spindles. Kick myself for selling my 40+ lot of 30 taper tooling over there.... If R-8 spindles really rare here, might
buy one from the States as I have a lot of R-8 tooling.
Living in Cootamundra, NSW (about an hour from Wagga Wagga), no used machinery dealers anywhere near me.
Regards,
Jon
