Boxford lathe

[Cheesie]

I've been offered this little boxford looks a little rough but it has everything 3 jaw and 4 jaw chuck runs as quiet as a mouse, what the most you would pay for it, I don't have much room until I build my new space

Nice little lathe I would think 300 to 500 quid

It mightbe a bit rough but it looks pretty honest.

Tell you what you wouldn't want to fight the owner of that foerarm though

 

[Fred Trevvett]

I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole, but let me know the sellers details please

He's asking for twice that lathes in general seem to go for 2-3 times here as what they go for on mainland gb, he got himself the colchester student in the background I've got a week or so to make my mind up

 

[123hotchef]

oh Lisburn! yes probably they will!

BUD or CUD, can't quite make out if it has facing? If it comes with the tool holders, QCTP as fitted and full set of change gears:
If CUD £400, BUD £500
Plus premium for where you live.
If the 4 way tool holder in the chip tray knock £100 off the prices above.

I bought the very same lathe on this forum.
I paid £700.
In my opinion it was worth the money but everybody's circumstances are differient.

wait for an AUD is he's asking twice as much?.............you might be able to pick one up. It will be worth it

Think I'll put it of until the right one comes up

We can offer pallet shipping to Northern Ireland if you need it. Lathe has to be palletised properly of course. Harrison M300 is about the limit or a Colchester student.
