Thanks Rob - see how this deal goes and what comes with it if I’m successful then I’ll definitely be in touch!

Ive just been thinking about my old man's machine and remembered a modification that some on here might like
He drilled straight through the table and bolted a bearing inside it
Could then run a boring bar
Used it for reboring for pins and bushes
Mostly very very early Japanese machines to fit hymac or poclain bucket pins as everyone local was to cheap to buy new buckets when the Japanese machines. Became more common place

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
That sounds like a good idea, maybe not drill through the table but make an extension to the side of it to run a bearing in

Quick update - had a nice little day out with the lesser-spotted @Mogman
with his lightweight crane lorry
(that’s just him, his empty lorry and his wallet by the way...)
Anyway, he seemed to know what he was doing - I didn’t have to give him too many pointers.
I think he was secretly quite proud of how well he balanced the lathe for the lift!
Heavy old machines - 6 tonnes in the pair
I’ve also lucked-out and got a stillage full of tooling and drills - it’s all going to need a good sorting through once I get a roof on their new home!!!

He’s got all sorts! All on the same number plate though (which I thought was a bit weird but didn’t like to say anything)...

The red and white number plates are the best

Shhhh
yes met up with mucky hands himself
and to keep in with the ‘new forum’ standards we never swore once all day
the radial did take a bit of lifting (not the weight) but to keep it all together as the top wanted to leave the base
but nothing a few adapted ratchet straps didn’t cure

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
that radial is the little sister to my old K&W ... loose box is different but the drill looks pretty nigh on identical .. just a bit smaller
V8Druid
do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
they have a habit of doing that ...... there's a technique to picking radial drills .... under the base and criss cross the arm ... I put it on here somewhere a few weeks agoShhhh
