Really old newbie

[Gareth JeffersonParticipant @garethjefferson65077]

I live in Kent between Ashford and Maidstone. I'm pretty old to be a beginner: 73 in November. I've been putting together a workshop over the last two or three years and it is now up and running, lacking only a surface grinder and a shaper with a motor.

Currently motorizing the Z and X axes of my 1kW Chinese mill and looking for carbide blanks (can't find them anywhere) to use in a Biax scraper.

Gareth Jefferson:

Good to have you on the forum. I am in Kent, too.

Your workshop sounds pretty advanced for a beginner of whatever age. I think that there was a thread about the Biax – try the search box some way down the home page.

Biax in Germany?
