:thumbup: One of our club members bought a similar lathe at a club auction (similar price) with a bit of work (bored out headstock, new spindle, lever tailstock) he now has a neat little precision lathe. Here he is turning cones for loco steam injectors at our recent exhibition. Mark |

That one looks rather neat Mark. ::) |

I actually gave one away about 15 years ago. It came with a load of bits from a workshop clearout. I refurbished it and gave it to a fellow modeller who still uses it to make many custom fittings for model boats. They are a very nice basic lathe, however, a little limited in its basic form. But as OB's mate has shown, with a little work, they can very easily be made into a nice high precision machine. Well worth getting for the price. John |

I dont really think the little lathe would suit the sort of messing around I am likely to do but it would be nice to have on the shelf! |
