So, inspired by Mr Pyhtons "I bought a lathe", I decided in my usual OC way, that I was going to get a milling machine.
I was proper ticked off that I missed the Emco FB2 that was for sale on this forum a while ago, and thus upped the ante and went for a Bridgeport Mill.

Let it be known, that I know certain key words when it comes to milling machines, as for key skills....well lets just say I am used to embarresing myself


After much gumtreeing, Olx'ing and junkmailing, I found this one:

The clincher for me was it came with decent machine vice and some tooling...if you want to biscuit your best sunday kit, check what a machine (not a bench vice) costs :eek7: :eek7:
