First attempt

Hi Gardenmac,

 

It's (sorry Rob) one of these: Mill .

Mine's the 28inch version, and I do notice the price has gone up a tenner since I bought mine a couple of weeks ago!!

It's "functional". I spent half an hour with a file knocking off the rough edges. The bracket that holds the downtube has quite a bit of play in it when assembling it, so it took me a while with an engineers square to get it perpendicular to the guide platform. The bolts that shut the clamp were slightly too long; I had to take an eigth off them so the clamp held the downtube firmly. And, I don't know how much your comment was tongue in cheek Rob, but the guide platform doesn't quite sit flat; there's a small amount of twist in it, so to get a good cut, you have to push down on the same spot for the whole cut. But... it does the job...

It was very much tongue in cheek Al - live and let live and all that - you can't really beat the price of these mills - and as you have demonstrated they do the job....
