MARLOW MILLING MACHINE IN PERFECT GOOD CONDITION 
This looks like excellent value to me even if it goes up a bit - this sort of thing or a Tom Senior are good for medium duty - any smaller and you may
well regret it unless steam trains are your thing.

I don't have one, but I've used this one for a few things. Recently used it to mill some hubs (see my other post about that). It does the
job, only downsides are quite a bit of backlash in the bed-moving gears (doesn't stop it being accurate, just not as easy to setup), and no
quick way to move things around (you have to spin the handles for ages). Also milling things generally takes ages. Quite fun though.
