It's not a radial arm, but it appears more like a jig borer. Does the same
thing as those 6ft tall boring machine Enco sell. The head sits on what
looks identical to a miller's knee, it even has a knee (Minus a ram at the
moment). But since the quill has about 30cm + of travel, then you have the
foot long drills, there's no problems there! :-)

I'd have to get my sisters camera down to work but I'll give it a go if
she'll let me take it.

Ouch!!! That brings a tear to the corner of my eye! When I go to an auction
or see some bits of machinery I like I just want it so no one can melt it
down, even if I don't need it. So when I go to one and see a heftier BP like
knee mill made in Leicester, England, that's paint actually shines, I just
itch. I can only sleep knowing that someone had to pay £3k for it, money I
don't have. What I can't accept is loosing out on practically the same thing
for £400. Man, I'm still in denial! I want to know where she is.
