I would not touch it . They admit that they cannot get the clutch to grip , and chipmasters have a variator transmission , which when worn can collapse totally . Go on the archive section of the ' Lathes for sale ' website and read up any lathe which you consider . Spare parts for machine tools are ridiculously expensive .
