I would suggest Jo's Prazimat. I would have bought it but it is just too big for my space :-(

Saw that website Phil, but thanks for the heads up. Only discovered it last week so another to add to my ever growing list of favourites. Some interesting kit on there.
Plus I like the idea of having an email address to contact the seller on that website. A lot of the time it's not easy for me to make personal calls at work, but firing off an email doesn't cause any issues. Don't like calling people late into the evening as not everyone appreciates it.
Thanks
Sean

Rob,
Thank you for the heads up. Problem with the Boxford is that I wouldn't get the base in. I only have a very small workshop aka shed 8 ft x 6 ft and it has benches round three sides. Compact does not even cover it. I'm not even sure I would get that base through the door. Only way it would work is if the lathe could be removed from and base and ran stand alone so to speak. But if memory serves me right, and its been many years since I've been near a Boxford the control gear for the motor is in the bottom left hand side.
I'm a member of a woodworking forum in the US and they keep posting pictures of their really small workshops that you can fit 3 cars in and moaning about space. They don't know the half of it :D
Cheers
Sean

Probably a bargain for whoever decides to buy it....
