Default Small jig borer

Small horizontal jig borer wanted, Would prefer horizontal but could look at verticals, what ever is about really!

Would prefer one in good working order even better with some tooling but not fussed.

Cheers

I recently bought a horizontal borer. Did look at this one initially; http://www.timdixon.com/mills-and-borers.htm The guy is very helpful and knows his stuff.


These Kearns S types machines are about the smallest borers made and have a good reputation. But in the end went for a much bigger 80mm Pegard (nearly 9 tonnes) with a full powered rotary table which alllows it to also be used for rotary milling and even as a vertical lathe.

The S type was a nice little Borer but a bit small for most people.
