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
