    Good day everyone. As the title says I am looking for a watchmakers lathe someone might be thinking of selling. Base, headstock, tailstock, tool post (doesn't have to have a compound but one would be nice). Collets, chucks would be good as well. Trying not to break the bank depending what's...

    Concrete workbench slab for mill attempt

    Ok. So I'm hoping this will add some rigidity to my newly acquired Craftex cx601 to sit on top of this concrete slab on my workbench. If not, it looks pretty beefy sitting on top of that HSS tubing frame. I had no intention of doing this until after I bought the mill but I figured it would be a...

    Bench top punch/stamping press

    I never thought these things existed until now. Got this from a retiring tool and die maker that I got a ton of other tools from including my cutter grinder. Being in manufacturing years ago I saw this and had to have it. So $20 later it was in the back of my truck with a bunch of other stuff...

    Heavy TOS dividing head vs. bench mill

    Ok, so as I stare at my TOS dividing head I have a question. Base is 6" wide, 9-1/2" deep & 11" tall and feels like it weighs as much as baby elephant . I'm going to assume this will be too much to put on my CX601 (when it finally arrives). I really like it, but if it's too big would someone be...

    WTB small hobby knee mill.

    Hey, just joined the forum. I just sold my Wells index 747 mill and am looking for a smaller knee mill like a clausing 8520, or Craftex CT054 (just missed out on one). I'm in Brantford, Ontario and willing to drive a few hours for it unless delivery is an option. Please let me know and price if...
