Remember the turning services/lathe thread?

You'd think the lathe would come with it at that price!

Had a sort and a think and the blue lathe is the one going so I've posted it in the for sale section.

I'm tempted to bolt it to the floor outside the unit, plant some flowers in the trough and put a hanging basket on each end. Maybe a with a brass plaque:-

Probably, although given the CCTV coverage along there it'd need to be taken by ninjas for them to get away with it.

If they're going full 'Ocean's Eleven' it makes me wonder if I have I undervalued it? I'll just nip over and edit the post to include "rare" and "sought after"

Seems pretty safe round there to be honest. The Rubber Man's Cherokee (things you never expected to type!) has been sat outside his place for two years at least without being touched. Still, I suppose seeing "The Rubber Man" on a sign might give even the most hardened criminal pause. "Z's dead baby."

Not to forget the all-important "vintage"

The capstain bit should fit on the other one , it will take a revolving centre .
and is just the job for -
center/drill and tap jobs .
Lovely with a die box .
Quick chamfer - in or out .
Loads of other stuff .

I did consider it, but the standard tail stock should do fine as I won't be doing anything where the time taken to change a bit would be much of an advantage really. I have a couple of chucks, live centre etc to use so it can stay with the one being sold which might make it a bit more appealing to someone.

Found a bit of time to get things a bit more sorted in the workshop, and manoeuvred the lathe into its new home. Just got to fit a working light and a three phase socket to the wall and we're good to go.
