Hi from Scotland
Hi,
I'm a car restorer and metal working mechanic working in Central Scotland Had an old I'd here but been many years and it was linked to an old email address I no longer use 🙄 Anyway i Just bought an very ancient cast iron burfree nibbler and hoping to share some pics get some help with tooling etc. I will be doing 3phase conversion. Vfd etc. Which I've done before will milling machine but I'm sure this may take some time before I can even get the thing nibbling It's small but heavy duty only 12" throat. Hoping it will help me at worst with my repetitive tin snip elbow pain..🤣🤣 At best turn it into a mini pull max type machine. Regards Fraser

Hi guys
No worries this log in will be fine I wasn't exactly prolific so not lost anything Off to pick up nibbler tommorow no idea if it's functional as no 3 phase to test it but I got it cheap enough I don't mind taking a punt And it's rated at 3/16 so at worst the frame will be strong enough to build on Cheers Fraser

Hi Peter
Watched your monaro rear quarter in one piece video a few weeks back actually. Wow 😮😶 amazing work man.. Gareth got it from Boston... Uk Boston 🤣🤣 But yeah long trip. Made it pay as was collecting a brand new chassis for Austin Healey customer tho 😉 also managed to sneak a huge cast-iron table under it too. Hehe nibbler still stuck in my car as need to get table off trailer first tho must be 3/4 ton easy and I've no fork lift 😌 😬🤔🤣🤣 Post pics once it's out. Its got a huge cast flywheel and clutch mechanism... 😯
