Hi Folks,

This is a long shot, but what the hell...

I'm trying to get in touch with a Greg N who was posting to this group
and others in 2003/2004 using the user name hairbear, from the ISP
topnet.com.au (who no longer exist).

He posted way back then about an Australian made horizontal milling
machine called a Brismill that he had recently acquired. I have
recently
got hold of a similar mill (incomplete and partially disassembled) and
would be interested in discussing what he found out about this mill.

Cheers, Dieter.

Sadly Peter Forbes is no longer with us so don't expect a reply in any
conventional form

Sorry I didn't see your post sooner - just wanted to mention that there is a facebook group: Brismill Milling Machine that I have just noticed that discusses these machines. I have made no progress with my machine but this may be just the spur I need. I have noticed in recent searches that one or maybe two of these machines have been refurbished in recent years and sold in Australia
