New Lathe

Been looking for a large lathe on ebay for a few months now . I missed out on a great one about 8 weeks ago as I was right in the middle of closing my business and didn't have the time to chase it up.

Just bought this one though, and it's looking promising.

My myford ML10 is great but not large enough for a lot of stuff. I think I may have solved that problem !

Just got to go to Margate next week to pick it up

Fantastic, would love one of those :D . How old is it - I swear that looks exactly like the ones we used to use in my youth! (without the readout as pointed out!)

Hi Gavin !

Not sure how old it is as haven't seen the serial number yet . They manufactured them , I *think* from 1968-77



Cheers
