RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Aussie Hoby Mill and Lathe - Experience?

It is my understanding that the guy who invented this machine is also the
designer of the original Sherline machine. He sold the rights to the
Sherline company.

As for the Clisby, I've had no experience of it. I've always kept it in the
back of my mind that parts of it could be used to make a larger machine.

Cheers,

Bob,

http://www.clisby.com is the site of the manufacturer. I have not seen
or used one of these machines but researched them a while back. They are
much smaller than a Sherline machine. What killed the deal for me was
feedback from a person I trust that actually got one. They did not feel
the machine was worth the money.
