Oh how I wish I had the space, I have no use for it, just a simple want.....

I know how you feel.

I know how you feel.

Isn't that the biggest problem with old iron disease, the way it attacks your sense of sensibility...
Maybe if you send him a message you can get him to hold it for you until August.....

I don't think my back pocket is big enough.

..... Well, you still have a few months to sort out the details, in the meantime, perhaps try buying a WINNING lotto ticket next time.

 

[Dabbler]

They say that you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. But my way, I *never lose*...

A relic from the industrial revolution!

Living in a townhouse has saved me a ton of money, mostly because I can’t possibly fit all the stuff I covet., like this glorious radial drill.

We play the same way.....
I may never win, but I always have $5.00 in my pocket.....

I have a baby radial. It does not have the cool factor of all the exposed gears ;(

We should have compared baby RADs (next trip to Calgary I’ll stop by) - a “mine is smaller than yours” type discussion. Comes in under #2000.

When I was at the gas plant they had a small Arboga radial drill, one of the nicest machines I've used. I lust after one again.
It was like this

I owned one of these Arboga gear head drill press for a while, I paid $200 for it Filthy, big holes drilled in the platten but fully functional.
Sold it for $900 when i closed the shop and downsized.

Before that I had the Tiawanese knock off version for many years.
I hung off of that one since I was 16.
I ended up buying it from the German fellow who owned the machine shop I worked at and sold that one when the Arboga came along

I will be selling one Arboga soon as I have two.

My baby radial is over 2000 lbs, I am quite sure of that - especially if one counts the box under it. It is like 900mm arm length. I am a bit struggling finding projects suitable for it - I need something that is too big for the mill to handle. Like say an engine or a large flange type project.

Is there anything that you don't have 2 or more of? LOL

I can’t really justify getting one of these for work, but lord do they ever look great.

They are a very nice drill. I passed on one because the feed gear was broken. Picked up a nice Mas VR2.
