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 .

Further to the above , there is currently a Smart and Brown Sabel on eBay no 140 506 615 855 , and LeBlond Regal , which is the model I referred to , 140 486 100 794 , both with the same seller at Lowestoft , also a Dean Smith and Grace , to please old Riggy's heart , no. 290 506 615 855 up in Tadcaster . The DSG comes up soon .
