ebay item #191479009764 - a rather nice Dean Smith and Grace lathe needing just a little bit of TLC :lol: Sitting at £100 which is probably less than the scrap value, it seems a tragic end to what has been a superb lathe |

It can live again. DS&G are just down the road from me. I remember as a youth that they had the main door open on Pitt Street where they made the lathes. I often used to linger a while and watch. Their foundry was on Lawkholme Lane. They still have a much smaller operation going on. So they can probably supply any information needed. Where I worked until my retirement (Keighley Laboratories) we had a DS&G tool room lathe. Sadly, not getting the tlc it deserves. Dave |

It is a 13Z, same as my first lathe from the 1970's (the lathe itself is much older, probably 30's to 50's) excellent machine, but I dont think DS&G ever made a bad un! |
| chipenter:
Do you get the 4 cans of Karlburg with it ? |

My sort of challenge, but, I'm not in a position to carry it out at the moment! Never mind, regards, Matthew. |
