content: Not the kind of thing I usually sell, but I think this might appeal to some of the people who browse this forum.Proxxon MF 70 micro miller, very nice little milling machine for precision workhttp://uk.farnell.com/proxxon/mf-70/micro-miller-240v-100w-euro-plug/dp/1075577?Ntt=proxxon+mf+70It's new and boxed, unused. Customer returned it because they thought a 2.4mm collect was missing, but it was actually already loaded in the spindle.List price £270+VAT, I'm looking for £165+VAT.I'll even throw in 3 Nema23 steppers so you can convert it to a cnc mill, look on YouTube. Kit available here as well:http://www.ideegeniali.it/shop/promotions/31-proxxon-mf70-retrofit-kit.htmlWill ship anywhere, VAT invoice supplied, can supply zero rated to EU buyers with a valid VAT number.

content: I am a bit relieved its gone as well. I was really thinking about it despite having no money and only half a use for it. Hope someone puts it to good use.

content: Quote from: TopLoser on November 07, 2013, 02:06:07 pmI know that the middle/upper range machines are (or at least were) made in Europe (the PD400 is the only Proxxon machine I've seen and it was made in Austria) but I wasn't too sure about the low end one's.
