HELP please , who is the best to collect a colchester lathe and transport

[arther dailey]

[roblane65]

I've been through this before , I don't have the space And I don't have the money . So at present it's NO !

 

[arther dailey]

I've not got lathe , no really I havn't

the thing is truethfully as many on here will agree as soon as you have one you think how the hell did I get anything done before I had this

 

[roblane65]

Probably very true but at present I really have to resist . It would just be a whole new lot of learning and then just wanting bigger and better ! rabbit hole ,,,,,,, more like a black hole .

Hi

That's a bit of bad timing, my truck has come back empty from Wales three times in recent months, going again in about a month so if you are not sorted by then I will pick it up.

You really need one!
I may have some for sale before long - got to have a clear out as I have another monster coming after Christmas!

Be sure to let me know, once my new garage is sorted I may well be in the market!

Who was it who moved the excel lathe on here last week? Think it was an excel lathe anyway

New lathe!

Can’t wait! Finally after having to sell my house hike home workshop and my beloved Harrison L5, getting myself back on track after 3 years. I know this is a Chinese thing but it’s done no work I like the spec. Chester crusader VS the larger model and only 2020 model. With loads of extras to go...

It was a pleasure. Palletising job went well. Some of those big tail lifts are rated at 1500kg but they only allow 1000kg for operating safety.
Not everyone uses that type of tail lift as you can't reverse into typical loading bays.

@fizzy thankyou , the courtesy you showed and indeed showing me your lathes and mill made my day , fantastic kit , if I am up your neck of the woods again hopefully will pop in again. Its nice to meet others with the same passion for the "old" (read proper) kit.

You were more than welcome. Nice to remember there are still some good people in this World.
