It comes with the 3 jaw chuck and set of reverse jaws, a faceplate, travelling steady. All the coolant equipment and a selection of cutters etc.
Hes not sure if the 4 jaw fits but if it does it's included too.

I know, I've been looking at backplates.
Now you have the machine tool shopping addiction. In 3 months itll be mills
You can get a faceplate or catch plate a hell of a lot cheaper than a chuck back plate one to fit a chuck, however the 4 jaw looks to be sitting quite high up,With luck its already L00. Its Not by any means ideal but a possible thought, I bought my L00 backplates in the USA and had them sent over, everything all in, they were 1/2 the price of anything in UK.

Beautiful lathes, and with the norton screwcutting box too. Absolute bargain!
If I'm not mistaken, you only need a 127 tooth gear to convert to metric then the gearbox gives you all your different pitches. Doubtless someone with more experience will be along to confirm but I'm pretty sure you only need that one gear, which you should be able to get for a reasonable price somewhere.Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any changewheels for cutting metric so will need to aquire them.
I've read about people having them made for not too much?
