We have a [http://www.chesteruk.net/store/conquest_mill.htm Conquest Mill from Chester UK] in the Hackspace. It drills (makes holes in things) and mills (takes layers of material off). It's ideal for use on metal, wood, and plastic. | We have a [http://www.chesteruk.net/store/conquest_mill.htm Conquest Mill from Chester UK] in the Hackspace.

Nigel believes that some of the internal gearwheel teeth have been ripped off. | |||

It requires parts and a few hours work by a competent person to sort it out. | |||
