Hi Nick, Would you perhaps know of someone looking to clear some space and sell a C1 with Mill setup ?

Hi ¨C ? Just to confuse the issue further - instead of going to the effort of making a milling setup for your C0 or spending on a Unimat setup (although I would not be without mine, alongside my SC3) what about parting with the C0 and acquiring a Sieg C1 complete with milling setup? ?

Subject: [Unimat] Unimat V Sieg C0 Advice ! ? Hey Guys, Just calling in tonight to ask your opinion on milling on a Unimat v Making a unimat style mill for the Sieg C0 ! So i own an Axminster C0 Baby lathe but its fairly basic with few accessories and id like to upgrade it so that I can perform milling operations ! But then i saw that a Unimat can be converted into a mill and then I thought hey just buy a unimat instead and I can turn and mill on it ! But Unimat seems to be VERY expensive and many parts are hard to find. Its aimed at hobbyists,watchmakers perhaps and and educational device for young uns and I don't believe they are worthy of the prices being asked unless its a rarity influence ? Are they even made anymore or are they now obsolete ? So what are my options ? I have the small axminster but its also very light duty and quite restricted. IN time I will restore a Zyto lathe thats a little larger but its not there yet ! So hmmm yea :/ what to do ?
