I'm looking at several machines for home shop. It will be an online purchase, so I'm taking a chance on any of them. The Brown and Sharpes will come in about the same price with shipping. The Doall's probably a few hundred more.
I'll post pics of 3 of them, the Doall d6's there's a couple out there, so I won't bother with pics. As I can't physically evaluate them first hand, I was curious what thoughts you guys might have these, or any recommendations. A regrind and scrape is not entirely out of the question if need be, and I'll probably go through the machines to some extent.
I'm curious about ease of use, parts availability, difficulty in service or repairs, and generally how well the machines perform. What are some differences between the Doall 1030 and D6 ?
The Brown & Sharpe No 5 I find interesting for the vintage nature of the machine. The Doall's seem to have more features. Anyway, I'll start with the No 5 posting pics.
