Welcome aboard.

You are really well equipped.

Hopefully before too long you will be able to find and attend a local Model Engineering Club to meet with felloe enthusiasts.

Hello from Buxton, though I retired here from Crookes (S10) a small few years ago.
A couple of machines in common as well; Myford, DW-1, Simat 101

I'm not a member myself, but SheffieldModSoc.

Hello Tony and welcome. I'm not too far from you, down near Mansfield and my son is doing teacher training at Sheffield Uni.

I used to be a Quality Manager and Quality Engineer for my sins so if you need a shoulder to cry on at any time you know where to come.

I own a Boxford lathe, a bench mill/drill with DRO, a Senior horizontal mill with DRO and a tool & cutter grinder plus the usual hand tools and measuring equipment.
