I bought another lathe!!!

[John Hill]

I hope I can find room for it in my shop..



... a little Flexispeed,  I guess it will be a few days before the Postie pedals down our street with the crate balanced on her handlebars..

From Tony's site:-


I think it will be a nice companion to my Adept!

Hi John

At least you don't have to find a lot of room, just a tiny wee bit should do. 

Cheers

What an amazing drive to the feed screw - looks like a nice 'bedroom lathe'

It looks absolutely tiny. Held down by philips head woodscrews. 

But, using a carbide knife tool....... 

Hope it's all you hope for, John!

I am sure it will look just fine cleaned up and put on the shelf.   It probably wont get used much if at all as I have an Adept (also sitting on the shelf) and a Sherline.

 The Sherline is in nice condition except the 3 jaw chuck is rather comprehensively munted and I have not yet plucked up the courage to buy another chuck (3 or 4 jaw) for it as they seem to be rather spendy, but if I had a chuck for the Sherline I would use that for any tiny jobs that come along.
