The Dore Westbury miller. You are spot on, Ian, a very versatile machine that is, because of its multi-axis design, only able to take small cuts. For the home workshop this should not be a problem and I can recommend one. The machine was offered as a kit for home assembly and yet I still receive requests for the build instructions and blueprints - so there must be unfinished ones out there. Over the years I had a number of them through my hands. Some were of very high quality indeed, some just "so so". It was offered in three versions: the original, what is know as the improved Mk.1 and an even better Mk.2 Here are all the details: https://www.lathes.co.uk/dore-westbury/index.html
