Lathe. Dean Smith and Grace.
I bought this lathe a few weeks ago for one reason - the steel 4 jaw chuck.
The machine is a 1709 x 40" bed which means it will swing 17" diameter over the bed, 9" over the saddle, and 40" between centres. It is a 1977 built machine.
It needs a good clean BUT it is the basis of an excellent machine.
I bought it without seeing it or running it.
I now have two options:
1. Spend time cleaning it and tarting it up ready to sell at a good price.
or
2. Sell it now at a reduced price which saves the buyer money and me time in which case I will be looking for around £2750.
Despite keeping the original 4 jaw chuck the machine will have the near new Pratt Burnerd 14" one that came with my own DSG I bought a few months ago.
It will also have a 12" 3 jaw chuck. The lathe has taper turning fitted and a power drilling attachment.
There are no steadies.
If you might be interested drop me a PM and we can negotiate a way forward.
It weighs about 4 1/2 tons and is located in Cardiff within easy reach of a lorry crane.
As it stands I am looking for around £2500.
Cheers Carl
