Well said Steve Clark, I agree totally with your deductions. As for Arc, the guy is pleasant enough UNTIL someone starts telling the truth about Chinese machines and then you can rest assured that his sidekick Mr S will respond to back him up. The only difference between them and Laurel and Hardy is Laurel and Hardy were a laugh, this pair are a joke.
Ps, if possible look for a second hand Wabeco mill. first class Hobby /Light engineering gear. and then, [ And I don,t mean this offensively] you will be the limitation [ Which will be less and less as you gain experience].
Regards,
Donald.
Thank you, for a minute I thought it must just be me who's seeing it this way, others comments seem to be nothing but praise for the service/advice they have received. I'm not doubting their words/own personal experience but when you have clearly seen what's been posted here, you got to understand how I'm taking it, surely it's not the best way to respond to any new comer.
Ok, let's not dwell on the point any longer, Ketan I accept your apology.
Howard Winwood, I can assure you that I never joined the forum for a slanging match or to upset anyone, why would I want to do that??
I already own & use many different types of tools/machinery, I come from a service engineer background, I've serviced,repaired, stripped down many things over the years so I don't mind having to do some fettling to a mill.
My earlier comment about precision, think of it like this from a newbie's point of view, buy a cheap circular saw for example and you still expect it to cut straight just like an expensive Dewalt would, totally different type of machine I know but you get my drift?
I understand that ones skill level will help no end, not offended by any advice/help on that score, I normally pick things up pretty quick.
