Anyone fancy a REAL challenge

awemawson:
I agree it probably looks far worse than it is - it's a lot of lathe for the asking price.

Manxmodder:
Andrew/Lee, If either of you know anyone who is remotely interested in owning a lathe I would be recommending them to go and look at this machine. Dean Smith & Grace toolroom lathes are very hard to better for accuracy and robustness.

If I didn't have other immediate commitments at present I would be very tempted by this machine......OZ.

Hmmm not that far from me but I have no idea whether a) it would fit in my Ford Fiesta b) the weight of it and c) whether its single phase or 3 phase? but might e tempted..

awemawson:
a/ No !
b/ Probably 1 to 2 tons
c/ Probably 3 phase

So with all three ducks not only NOT lined up but actually SUNK you definitely need to go for it - you know it makes sense  :lol:

backofanenvelope:
Laughing out loud! :D

I have visions of a wacky races outcome now.. I think it might be way out of my league, maybe another time..
