It's the same model as the one in the picture, but mine doesn't have the digital caliper or the swivel vice.It's heavy and will need a couple of people to dismantle and shift it. No stairs involved!£150 cash, you collect from Sheffield S35 0AR.

content: Quote from: TopLoser on December 22, 2014, 03:17:41 pmMy dentist likes me, regular check up and good prices as well. Last time though I went there, and he referred me to the surgeon, who had to do some work involving a grinder to extract the last wisdom tooth. Paid that one cash as well. Funny thing was that Uli Schmidt wanted to take that tooth out 20 odd years ago. Doing the other side he lifted me out of the chair by the one tooth.

content: And there I was with the bill for $500 for the surgeon, and a single visit complete with dissolving stitches and 3 days of those lovely gram specific antibiotics.Best wishes for a pain free Xmas then Ian, and enjoy the liquid meals.You do know that steak does taste pretty good after it goes through the liquidiser, though I just did not eat much for 3 days till the stitches dissolved. Good news is the lack of pain is great.

content: bugger, too late to the party, though that mill isn't quite big enough for what I need. TopLoser, I'm skilled with a pair of pliers if you fancy saving the £1100.
