The many clones of the WW2 4.1/2" Southbend imports are an advance on the Myford . The Boxford is the commonest , but there are many made for schools with no screwcut or auto feeds fitted . The nicest of them is the Smart and Brown Sabel . Boxford parts will fit this . There was also an old fashioned looking 5" LeBlond which was like a larger lathe scaled down , but a nice machine if you can find one which has had a charmed life .
Beware of the fancy drive arrangements on the Colchester Chipmaster . Do your homework on the ' Latehs for Sale websit archive section .
