Another Sexy Mill

[Jo]

It must be a sad day when someone has to sell their Sexy mill : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sixis-S101-precision-swiss-milling-machine-similar-to-Aciera-F1-/112228215449?hash=item1a2152aa99:g:iNMAAOSwB09YRunx

And No, I didn't pay that much

Thankfully I am saved from the risk of buying: 'May not post to Canada'

Jo, you could just buy it to get that rotating table and then flog the rest to some poor sole with more money than sense

[Jo]

Some of us do not buy machine tools to strip them down  My Sexy has castings for all the missing bits that Matt's machine has, I just need a bit more time to make them for him.

I just find it so sad when someone has to sell one of Sexy's cousins to buy himself a Hardinge HLV-H

Jason,  see how much more a tenth of a thou or a hundredth of a mill is worth on non import piece of equipment

Another who doesn't understand 

"Sexy" is the closest term because words can never truly describe the feeling

Makes little difference what accuracy it could be capable of if its main job seems to be to stop Jo's study carpet from lifting in one corner

Can't be that accurate anyway as there is still a DRO waiting to be fitted to it from about 2 years ago

Sexy's daily job is guarding the casting sets as he is the only one I trust with them. However he does enjoy throwing swarf across the carpet and seeing how full he can get the casting boxes with it before I catch him at his little game but he is such a sweetie one can forgive him 


Yes I still must fit his DRO, it is because he is accurate that I have not yet gotten round to fitting it: for now he has a calculator to convert from his imperialous measurements into modern measurements.

P.S. Yes before anyone complains: I know I don't post photos of him often this is because I have seen the effect Mr Silky has on visitors, if they remembered Sexy lives with me as well
