hey @WestVinTools Welcome! I lived for years in Brantford -Brock street. Near Recreation park!

There was a great deal on a surface grinder near you that was posted for over a year in Paris...


Enjoy the forum!

That Craftex knee mill sold for $4200 (just over $5000 with tax and buyers premium). Not what I want to spend at the moment on a mill that old.

On a plus side, I broke down and researched bench mills so I ordered a cx601 mill/drill from busy bee. I'll be making a steel base for it. Was thinking of pouring a 3" or 4" thick concrete top to attach the mill to. Does anyone own a CX601? If so what are the dimensions for the cast base of the mill?
