I thought it was free?
Just goes to show you just can't trust those Northerner types

Sorry *Sold* as in gone, it was free but despite the advert saying no couriers the first three people wanted me to pack it and courier it.

I'm not in business to pack and dispatch things so first got to find a box, then packing material and when you have a big wood burner like mine boxes and packing last about 3 seconds.

Worst thing though is once the courier is booked you are given a day for collection so that means I have to stay in all day just to get this one parcel which was for free to start with.
That means no emergency repairs or collect spares etc which is what my job is all about.

It's sometime easier to throw things in the skip than mess about.

I knew what you meant, but I know where you're coming from. Most hobbyists fail to grasp the whole 'time is money' thing.

I've had a PNC2100 sat on the bench for over a year now, but just have not had the time to do anything with it.

My next one is a Roland PNC3100 quite a nice machine for a desktop type mill as opposed to router or engraver.
Make a nice machine for the model railway guys.

Then a Conect ML10 based lathe
Then a Conect Rhiston based mill
Then a Myford VM-B
Then a Sieg KX2 [ even though they never made one

]
Then the first KX1 which now needs a refit
Then an Orac but that's to keep and finally
That releases the Sieg KC4 lathe
