Anyone know where I can get a set of instructions for the above, looks
very much the same as this:-

http://cgi.ebay.com/CHRISTEN-2-32-Select-O-Point-Drill-Grinder_W0QQitemZ7594906376

The only web page that I've found so far which ought to be relevant is
http://www.europeanmachine.com/christen.html

but that just comes up blank for me.

Any clues?

Many  thanks

Tim

Hi Tim
www.europeanmachine.com was run by a guy called Lloyd ...
known as deckelnut on the practical machinist forum ...
Lloyd lives in Preston ..
the site has been down for some time ..months

send a private message to Lloyd from the forum and perhaps he will
help you

all the best.mark

There seems to have been a thread about Christen grinders on the pm
forum, unforunately pm is down for refurbishment at the moment so I'll
have to be patient on that one.

Cheers

I can email the instructions for the smaller Christen grinder if
that's any use (the one up to 10mm)

Have you tried Brunner Machine Tools?

http://www.brunnermachine.co.uk/

They might be able to help.

I've emailed them.
I bet they'll want almost as much as the machine cost, though <g>

Many thanks

I found Brunner quite helpful in the past.
Spares prices are "high" but if you bought the machine for a similar
price to a manual then I *could* learn to dislike you <BG>

Strangely my email to them was recorded as 'read' at 11pm yesterday,
though no reply as yet. Maybe at 11pm today <g>

Charles, I thought you got yours for about the likely price of a
manual?
Admittedly mine is bigger & perhaps a bit more complex, but it also
cost me rather more than yours (about 120 notes).
I still think it was a bargain, though I haven't had a chance to try
it out yet.

Cheers

Fair point. The capacity of your one is much more useful.
I'd agree with you, a bargain

If this is a reply to my old post, thankyou.
I've been in contact with Brunners, also have bought a (very well)
photocopied manual from Budget Machinery. I did find after buying it
that although Brunners prices are generally quite steep, on original
manual wouldn't have been vastly more expensive than the copy.

Thanks

Tim
