D&M 4S Machining Center CNC Mill. From an estate, looks to have little use. The milling machine looks to all be Sherline components. I know very little about CNC machines so please ask any necessary questions. Pick up in northern Indiana or can deliver to Portland Indiana antique engine swap...

Thanks for the great pictures of an original Dake steam engine. If you ever produce a kit please let me know.

Really like that Dake model. Ive seen a couple full size ones running and they are fascinating machines. Ive never seen a model, was it a kit or built from scratch?
