Hello all

Hi all,

Had a lifetime passion owning and riding motorcycles which has included all things mechanically related which I've always enjoyed but sadly circumstances has curtailed this. With the sale of my Triumph I decided to use the funds to get a old British Milling machine and Lathe. I've previously had both but in the small Chinese bracket.

First was an AEW Viceroy vertical mill which has been dismantled to clean & tidy up. I will be installing a DRO and it will need setting up with a VFD as it is currently a 3 phase motor.

Second was again a Viceroy but a lathe, a TDS1/2. This too will be stripped and checked and like the mill probably need a VFD as it too is 3 phase.

I am still a novice at both disiclines but have found much useful information on the forum already but will likely be seeking some knowledge with the electrics of both machines.

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome Chris & Brian. Here's a couple of pics of my new (to me) mill & lathe.
