Hi All,having just joined the Forum,I am finding my way around the site, .

I am a retired Fitter/Turner, Aged 75 yrs. I am in the process of putting together a small workshop, I have an old Harrison Lathe L5, but would like a small bench milling machine, as an apprentice I spent a lot of time on a early 1960,s EMCO series 3000 Mill,. It doesn,t need to be in good condition as I was involved in maintenance previously, as long as it is reasonably priced,. Thankyou, Pete.

Welcome Pete, you could well find some leads to a suitable bench mill, mine is an elderly but looked after Graham DM25 which has done me well for a number of years.

Are you hoping to do some model making when your workshop is sorted? and, is so, what sort of thing grabs your attention?

Hi Neil, "Thanks" for the welcome message, I feel sure I will eventually find the vertical mill that will suit me and my budget, ideally the little Emco, but there are plenty of other variety,s of these older 3-4 speed belt driven mills around, but they seem scarce here in Cornwall, so we live in hopes,.

Neil I think I should have called myself Pete.F or something similar in the initial account set – up other than Peter FERNIE 1 or is that what I view only, any help along the way will be appreciated
