It's taken me several years to get to this point and there was never going to be a good time : For sale is dad's Kity K704. He passed away a couple of years ago.

I remember, in my early twenties, us both driving up to Axminster Tools (when it was a single shop on the High Street), buying this new and bringing it home in his Austin Princess.


Trained as a joiner, but having left the industry just afterwards, in my dad's ownership it only ever enjoyed light but careful hobby use. In later years it sat in his dry workshop doing nothing as he was too old and unwell to use it.



It comprises a 627 spindle moulder, a 652 morticer, a 636 planer/thicknesser, a large table with a Kity frame and wheels, and a 617 circular saw (with a table extension that he built and added).

The motor works and, as far as I can tell, everything else is functional (but would benefit from new belts and a little bit of fettling, I imagine). Original manuals and a few cutters are also included in the sale.



In an ideal world I would keep it. That certainly was my intention. However, I already have much of the capability of the K704 in the other tools that I already own so, with a heavy and sad heart, the time has come to sell it.


Given the overall condition, very light use and single family ownership since new, I'm looking for £650.

It would probably fit in a large family car with a roof rack and I am happy to help with dismantling. I'm located in central Devon.


Thank you for looking.

Sorry for your loss, my dad passed just a few months after my Mrs. I hope you find someone who will love dads tools as much as he did.
I have taking to wood turning after getting my dads old lathe yes an Axminster 1992 vintage and have paid out over 180 gbp to restore that and his band saw.
Now I have the wood turning bug,
 
Thank you Katomi woodsmith,

I have kept my dad's lathe (and chisels) as my wife and I plan to learn how to do wood turning at some stage - a bit like yourself.

I've also kept his bandsaw even though I already have one - sometimes it is useful to have one machine set up one way and another one, another way.
