FANTASTIC MACHINES Hi everybody. I'm no expert, just love the versatility of these machines. These machines get the most press for eating fingers. Treat them with respect, they are a joy to use. I'd just like to hear what you think about these very versatile machines. What make/model do you...

You cant beat good old tried and tested acid cat lacquer. Well said Ollie78 (y) 😍 Cheers. Tony

You can change all the other bearings etc; but the drill is scrap if the quill has play in it. Any old British or USA iron will be OK. I'd go for...

You've got to start somewhere, it works that's the main thing. Everybody needs one at some time. Maybe carve some detail on it as you progress.👍
