Kearns S type

[steamy1]

A nice little machine but I don't think many were made, hence the rarity.

A great machine as others have commented. And very versatile. I would only add if you can get one with a tailstock (even rarer) worth looking out for.

I do have some spare collets and holders if you get stuck (once you have got a machine!)

Whilst I don't know what you are talking about, my dad worked for Kearns in Atlantic Street Broadheath south of Manchester for thirty three years before retiring as an inspector, although there was a place in the factory for me when I left school in 1962 I chose to take an aprenticeship in the building trade. It was just nice to see the name "Kearns" which played such an important part in my younger life. Good luck in your search
