Anyone fancy a REAL challenge
awemawson:
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
DavidA:
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.

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