Machines I want but will probably never own

[matthewsx]

It's a short list (not in any particular order):

Coborn PG3A
Coborn PS2BS Scaife Bench & Spindle
Vacuum Furnace
Short bed large swing lathe
Lapmaster or Blanchard
Wells Index model 860C
36" Surface Grinder

I'll just keep adding to it as time goes by

"The pivot motion is automatic and controlled via a touchscreen. Pivot angle limits, dwell time at end of stroke and pivot speed can all be pre-set.
If ‘hard’ spots exist on the diamond then temporary pivot limits can be selected whilst running.
Tools are inspected via a VS5G vision system."

You're setting the par pretty high there

And the Blanchard....

Yeah the PG3B has all the bells and whistles. I ran one for a short time. But the one I really want is its predecessor PG3A. The PG3A is a manual machine. no air bearings, no computers, external cabinets, or granite top. It's really a perfect little cutting tool grinder in a small package.
