Health to wear Karliboy, a fine looking lathe, multifix tool holder as well, a sought after item itself and not cheap.

Cheers. I couldn’t say no when I seen the price of it so had to buy it especially when I seen the multifix.
only problem is there’s no tool holders with it. But hey ho I’ll find some just need to work out what size it is now.

I'm on the Dixon myself but I do see Chinese multifix copy's on the bay times, don't know what their like being from the far East mind but I've seen them for sale from Germany where one would hope they havnt succumb to chinglish as much as round here has.
Altho if you Google multifix tool post dimensions and click on images you will get your dimensions.

No mods done it came part built in a large box .its had a fair bit of use already and dose a good job .not the quickest thing to use but gets down to bare metal in tight spaces . I was looking at used ones on eBay and by the time you get vat off new ones aren’t much more

Oooo I like that:love:, probably wouldn’t like the price tag though:(.

I have one of these little cabinets in the workshop for small bits, I’ll get round to making a stand for it one day:rolleyes:

And treated myself to one of these a few years ago for the bigger jobs, just keep it set up in a container and run it of a big screw compressor so always ready to go. The work rate is awesome(y)
