Bought as a replacement for the Triumph 2000, this is an SLX1630 Proturn lathe - rather like my Bridgeport EZ-Trak it's a hybrid machine, it can work as both a manual or CNC lathe. I bought it after going to the company's open day at Nuneaton - an excellent day out (quite apart from the excellent spread of food and drink they laid on!) with all their machines running demonstrations all day.

Interestingly, given that the demo centre is carpetted throughout, none of the machines are run with coolant (makes too much mess), the lathe was turning lumps of EN8 into the widgets pictured below, throwing sparks from the disposable tipped cutting tool all the while. To my surprise, at the end of the cycle the work was no more than warm to the touch.
