Hi all

Ha, I knew a bit of jesting might provoke some replies

Kingcreaky, I'd like to just buy. I've not looked in to converting as I have far too many hobbies as it is, and without any prior knowledge of hobby mills, it could turn out to be a minefield. I wish It was easier (and cheaper) to truck in an old VMC or Robodrill into my current workshop.

Leadhead, 3 machines you say? lucky fellow. As a nipper I worked for a guy from horndean. He had a little place in Waterlooville called Kathglade. His name was Bill Nicholson, he went a bit mad after a car crash, and looked a bit like a monkey. I'd be surprised if he was still alive.......I doubt you are him.......I digress, Thankyou for the offer, I will get in touch if I'm a bit stuck. Is Fusion a package like solidworks? That makes me sound stupid, but I'm really not that "up" on it all.

Clive S, I wasn't hoping for answers Sir, just a bit of a handshake and a welcome to the party (jungle?)
