Hello everyone,

I have found this site really useful in the past but have eventually got round to signing up.

I am looking to purchase a milling machine either a Chester Champion 20V or a Warco WM16.

I can see a Chester advertised in the classifieds but as a new member I cannot access the contact details. Could anyone please advise?

I am interested in small engineering projects including helping my son out with bits for his "cafe racer".

Many thanks

Dave

Hello David

Welcome to the forum. You need to make a certain number of posts before you can view adverts – as you have already discovered – so a bit of a conversation here will help. I don't have a mill myself at the moment, and I'm not really into the modelling side of things, but I mainly fix stuff (or make more tools to fix stuff.

There's also a thread here where people make a few posts to gain access to the classifieds.

Hello David,

His name is Geoff Adams, phone 01202 986057. Since you will not be able to contact him by email arrangement until you have posted maybe twice more [to discourage trader abuse of the site] that is all I guess I am able to pass on to you. He wants £775 for it but I have no idea if that is realistic

Regards

Brian

Hi

Another one from the East Midlands, I like things that are fast, model boats cars and planes, my son is currently rebuilding his drag racing original mini. I’ve done some work on it in the past, has his own workshop now.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for sending these details through. from the STD phone code it looks like Geoff is quite a distance away.

However I will investigate further.

Again thank you,

Hi all,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I am looking forward to catching up on all the interesting posts.

I currently have an ML7 lathe and a very old pedestal drill with a cross-slide off a lathe on it – hence looking for a mill

I am a retired toolmaker – plastic injection mouldings.

Dave

David,

Welcome to the Forum, from another East Anglian resident (Peterborough )

With a toolmaking background, you should manage quite well

Am sure that users of the machine that you metion will be able mto tell youn their experiences with them
