Woo Hoo, I just bought me a mill :)

BP S1? Meddings Pillar Drill? Lamp shade? Cuddly Toy?

No broken Lathes then? ;)

Very good Keith, thats 2 points... tho it might have been a later one - it had the full BOSS setup. Whats 1/2 under the blanket then :)

Oh there were lathes, in the other room... one dating back to c1900.

Looks a bit like a shaper I used at college a million years ago :)

Its actually a Tom Senior horizontal mill in immaculate condition, virtually unused...

We'll I'm a happy person... 3 Warco MD30 mills like mine have appeared on eBay, one sold at £555, one is about to go for over £450 and the last is already at £400... makes my £365 investment look rather good :)


right I'm off to bed, it being gne midnight here in Bangalore and I'm off to Delhi in the morning....

Excellent Irving, well done! :D

Must admit it looks a nice machine. I've a hankering to convert a small mill myself and that looks just the job. Need to get hold of a nice smallish lathe first tho'. Any idea what these small SIEG lathes are like?
