Hi Loz, after watching your Centec 2A videos I decided I had to get rid of my Chinese mill and get a proper British one! Within a week of deciding this, I found a 2A on ebay, sold my crapola mill to make room for the Centec, and had it collected from Middlesboro' and brought here to Derbyshire! The chap I bought it off was lovely, he gave me a load of tooling that I had not expected, including a Clarkson Autolock chuck! I spent a month or so fettling it [I'm not as thorough as you!] and I am now delighted with my beautiful old lady! I had the same drawbar problems as you, now all overcome. Like you, I love seeing the grey Centec next to the grey Myford! Thanks very much mate! 😊

[@LozHarrop]

Nice one mate, they are such a robust solid machine and look so nice, I love using mine. 👍👍

[@RickRabjohn]

Oh baby! Great video on a big-fun project. Love the mill. These older machines are really terrific - made heavy duty to last a lifetime. Have fun with it. Stay healthy my friend. Cheers.

[@LozHarrop]

Cheers Rick, will have fun for sure.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Incredible work on that refurb Loz, I wouldn't even know where to start lol! ~Peace~

[@LozHarrop]

thanks mate, im sure you would figure it out, the hardest part is actually putting it back together in the right order as i found. Cheers

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I really liked the blue. Very 70’s, However the mill now looks like new. Albeit 1950’s Can’t wait to see what yer get milled 👍🏻

[@LozHarrop]

Hi Michael, when i stripped the machine the bits the painter could not get to with his brush were grey, he made up for it by painting all the grease and oil nipples etc lol

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Ah so the mill had a real professional paint job then 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Grey still looks champion, just need to see some action now. 👍🏻

[@martiniv8924]

Built in the Old Sunbeam Factory , Great size Mill👌🏻😎

[@mickspain330]

Really good video Loz, very interesting, and some hard work you have put into getting the machine up to scratch, cheers for sharing 👍

[@LozHarrop]

Thanks Mick, labour of love mate the weather as usual made a nightmare of spraying it all outside.

[@tropifiori]

A lovely old tool

[@LozHarrop]

yes it sure is Frank

[@Tonioostendorp]

What a great machine! I bought a Schaublin 12, slightly bigger I think but still small and strong.

[@LozHarrop]

Thanks Toni, I looked at a few of those mills over the years, they usually make good money and a great machine.

[@jameslaurencesmith7537]

hey up loz !got a question for you ,, my centec 2 all the gubbings are mounted on a support on which the mill sits.. this support is too long to sit on the [ bench ] so i am just going to sit the miller on the bench and run all the gubbings of the miller from one side ,, i have noticed what i call a gearbox that is connected by pulley from motor and no drive from gear to anything ,,!ther are levers on the gearbox but nowt happens ...!confusing to say the least,, well do you know the reason for this [ gearbox ] my machine is the same as yours !OH! RAISER BLOCKS ARE IN THE PIPE LINE NO CHARGE ! 75 mmx75mmx300mm. ! good enough? regards laurence

[@LozHarrop]

Hi James, sorry i missed this comment but also had covid when you posted it so not at my best. There should be 3 pully's on the rear of the machine, motor goes on top one the other two run off that one which engages the gearbox and levers, if you can email me a picture or vid of yours I can maybe suss out what the problem is with yours if you have not figured it out. Cheers Loz.

[@pearcemachineshop5200]

That's a little Bobby Dazzler you've got there Loz, great job bud it looks like new, looking forward to seeing it milling. Al.

[@LozHarrop]

Cheers Al, after we spoke the other day, I took the table off again lightly stoned the ways for a min and put it back now within half a thou so chuffed with that.
