Cutter Grinder" by Prof Chaddock published by Tee publishing ISBN

100 91 3 which covers the building and use of the machine. There
are two
very similar models - the Mk1 & the Mk2

Which version is described in that book? Mk1 or Mk2 or both, or are
the
Mk's different to the one in the book? And what's the difference
between
the two, please.

I'm interested in the Quorn since longer, but it seems that there
are
more than one version around and I don't know which one is the best
(read: most versatile).


TIA,

IIRC the Mk2 has a head support column that is spiral grooved for ease
of height adjustment, and a cast aluminium cover over the drice belt.
The two versions though can prettywell do the same tasks.

If you go to the quorn_user Yahoo group and look in the photos
section you will see several of each. Don't forget that they were
never commercially produced, all were made by hobbyists many of whom
incorporated their own ideas.
