I was offered this a year ago and finally got a chance to have a proper look today. As far as they know its always been at the workshop and was last used properly in anger but a machinist that retired 3 years ago since then is been relegated to drilling duties as nearly everything they do now is on CNC machines.
good points
runs lovely very quiet and in backgear too
variable speed head
Dro works
comes with tooling more than shown he will dig it out
they have a forklift
bad points
power feed has not worked for a while
probably not oiled for a while
molegrip stops (come with it!)
theres a collar loose on the down feed stops so could check power feed
I have to wait till after Christmas to pick it up as machines in the way
some pictures
Is there anything obvious on the photos thats an issue ?
The deal ive be offered means it would it would stand me in £1k but its not cash more my time, I thinks it worth it but the knowledgeable may disagree......
I might need help from others that have been through it before converting to a VFD it has a panhead motor
