[PBO]

I intend to put a modest workshop together over the next couple of years

At this point I'll be purchasing used machines that are bigger than the more compact hobbyist devices. Ebay is a way of buying them but in Sydney auctions are the best avenue to secure quality equipment (we just don't have the population selling online) that is in good condition & usually has a reasonable amount of tools/tips/accessories included in the lot...many lots have more than you may want or need & the extras can be sold to offset the initial purchase cost

I'm thinking a CNC mill, drill press, small lathe & maybe a small extraction system
