Boxford 260 VMC rebuild

[Lee Roberts]

Wow, mate, cracking job you’ve done!.

Really enjoyed reading through this latest post, lol proper workshop thinking all the way. The bit about the bridge solution made me smile...the classic “getting done” ingenuity!

Loved the fact you admitted it probably shouldn’t be tried at home, definitely earns extra bonus points for that

You’ve clearly put a lot of time and effort into this rebuild and it shows, sorting the electricals and wiring, that M6 cap screws was a good catch.

You’ve gone above and beyond to make sure this machine is built better than it probably ever was...NICE!

I'm currently sat nursing a total right knee replacement, So enjoying as much content as I can get at the moment, thanks for sharing the pictures and video, it’s always a right buzz when/seeing the machine come to life and make those first cuts isnt it, are you happy with the outcome ?

Hope you’ll keep the thread updated as you start to put it to work and look forward to the next set of action videos, I reckon others here will find it just as inspiring (and reassuring!) to see what’s possible with a bit of patience and a solid plan.

Top work
