Details:
Please read the following with care and be fully aware as to what you may be interested in as I don't want to mislead anyone. This machine came into my possession as a result of my trying to assist someone who had bought it and had employed a so-called 'professional' remover who managed to topple it off a pallet. The buyer was asking for advice as to how to repair it. He did not have the skills or facilities and was going to scrap it, but instead accepted my offer. The fall had broken the saddle handwheel, broken the cross-slide handwheel bracket out of the saddle and put a 'sine-wave' in the cross-slide leadscrew. Fortunately, it did not break the apron or bend the leadscrew, power feed shaft or control shaft. I have replaced the saddle handwheel, milled out the broken saddle casting and fitted a steel fillet which is in a purely cosmetic position that does not affect the operation of the cross-slide. This is a Metric lathe, however, I could not source a metric cross-slide leadscrew that would allow for an economic repair, but I did source a brand new Imperial leadscrew and nut, if DRO was to be fitted this will not matter. The lathe will come with 3 & 4 jaw Pratt-Burnerd chucks, faceplate, catch plate and Dixon quick change tool post with four holders, rotating centre and headstock centre in the correct adapter. All the guards, splash back and suds pump will come with the lathe but the tool draw is missing. There is still plenty of life left in this machine! Any inspection invited.
