bit more on the witterings front ......
I've been looking for a turret mill for quite a while and had found a real tidy Ajax, not far from me,

full DRO, ex training school, so light use and
very nice.
had been in touch with the guy quite a while back, but could never nail him down to a day, to go take a look

..... mostly to have a suss of HTF to get it from there

... at a sensible cost,

as he had no way of loading it ... and to decide exactly which model it was .... they [Ajax] make four ... one of which is a LUMP!!
From dimensions supplied i'd eventually worked out which model it was and was about a ton, so
if i could find either an FLT local, or a suitable beam to hang a 3t pull-lft off, it'd happily go in me trailer, behind the P38 ...... then he went quiet for a few weeks

I eventually got some further com.s from the seller, only to find he'd blown it and a load of other gear out to a dealer, to clear it all for the new term's start .. he'd had three of these!! ...Was well pissed off!!! ..... would've been ideal.
so new Ebay saved search entered and see what crops up.
would've preferred this over a Bridgeport .... heavier built all together !!
I was absolutely
gutted .... was very cheap
Like new or damned near it .... if I'd known he'd had three, I'd have been up there with a truck and hiab and had all of 'em ... very re-sale-able ... especially at the price he was asking ... well under half of what they usually make.

and kept the best one for meself !!
these don't come up very often .... especially not in this condition !!
