Well today three EKT accessaries entered the nest, a grinder with burr remover, a circular saw and a power press, these look good (if I say so myself), along side my EKT lineshaft and double grinder
I thought I was familiar with the ekt build quality but I was totally taken aback by the size of the ekt press, below is a photo of the ekt press along side a mamod press to give some idea of scale

The press is a very nice accessory. 
The EKT drill and the very expensive milling machine (haven't seen one in real yet) are as big and well built as the press.

You hardly see them in the Netherlands and when you see them they'll have the "old" high price tag. 
The drill is very nice, it's fully functional. I sold the one I had because I hardly collect accessories and the only ones I keep are pre-war German accessories.
On German Ebay the drill usually sells for about 80 euro.

thanks, I think (I could be wrong) but I feel EKT are difficult to track down no matter what country you live in, possibley with the exception of Germany. i wish I knew more about EKT particularly production figures |
