Hi, After selling my large WM-18 mill I am in the market for a more practical size machine for modelling. I have to confess that I also used my mill as my drill press to save space and costs. My question is whether the following is practical? Purchase the Proxxon http://www.satberlin.de/en/PROXXON-machines/Table-top-tools/PROXXON-Bench-drill-press-TBH-NO-28124 With compound table http://www.satberlin.de/en/PROXXON-machines//PROXXON-Die-cast-aluminium-compound-table-KT-150-NO-20150 or would the MF70 mill be better http://www.satberlin.de/en/PROXXON-machines/Table-top-tools/PROXXON-MICRO-miller-MF-70-NO-27110 The tools would only be used for milling wood and very small metal items as needed. My issue is whether the drill press could handle the lateral force? Into the mix could also be http://www.satberlin.de/en/PROXXON-machines//PROXXON-Mill/drill-system-BFW-40/E-with-controller-NO-20165 any thoughts from experience? regards ian

Hi All, Well I thought I should start a post and fully join in. Whilst looking into the scratch build section options i thought i would do the Panart deck section. It will give me something to do and look at Just the frame completed with 2 mm dowels on the key joints not up to some levels but a start Ian

Hi Ian B On the Unimat question, they have nothing in commonm with the original unimats which were great little machines. Personally they are OK but only OK once you get around all the time spent of changing from one function to another. But it comes down to the question of what are you going to use it for and at what size. As an example I have just sold my very large modern lathe/Mill with DRO's etc as I move away from model engineering and into ships again. I will be using my 50 year old faircut junior http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php? which is more than sufficient and big enough. more importantly its solid which means less vibration etc when cutting. just my personal thoughts

Thank you for the info. The hobby mill site seems very useful for Jim's saw Ian

HI, I am looking at a few options around additional tooling and came across a minor question. If i was to purchase a small table saw, proxxon/Byrnes et al where in the UK can you purchase quality saw blades? or internationally with minimal trouble/ regards Ian

Hi Ian, The key question to ask on the lathe is potentially what is the max between centres, IE what is the longest item you would wish to turn in the lathe. 2 examples from ARC Euro trade would be the C0 baby and C3 super C3 is just shy of £600 but has a centre distance of 400mm (see Link) The C0 is £255 but only has a centre distance of 125mm (see Link) regards Ian
