brill nice to see the compact 8 in youse |
| mattinker:
2nd opinion, well, it was a really great gift from Andrew Mawson, I'm pleased to have it, looking forward to it running! Krv, The compact 8 is really useful, it's in really good shape, it was missing the motor when I got it, it came out of a school, apparently the kids had deliberately locked the motor an left it running and burnt it out. It still had the "cosmolene" on the bed ways! It's a real complement to my other big lathes! All the best, Matthew. |

well its a sham you is not in the uk as I have a motor |
| mattinker:
Thanks Krv, Thanks for the offer, I have a three phase motor (from a V10 Emco I think) that cost me €70 shipping from Australia! It's a three phase, two speed that I mounted with a three to one reduction on a lay shaft with a toothed timing belt. I Also put a 1 to 1 gearing option, which I've never used as I've never needed it! It'll run as slow as 33 RPM which I find great for threading up to a shoulder! Thanks again, Matthew |

brill that's the one thing I don't like is its slowest speed is not slow inuf for thread cutting on the standard lath |
