To that end, the world is full of abused, worn out lathes for sale, stripped of every last piece of tooling. It's an expensive way to equip a workshop - by the time you've bought the machine, has the bed and ways reground and equipped it to a decent level, the initial purchase price can often double (and you're still left with an old, part-refurbished machine with horrible paintwork!).

A single phase machine, fitted with useful factory options - cabinet stand, screwcutting gearbox, power cross feed and clutch - as well as having a large amount of equipment and tooling, including:
length/inches | 45 |
width/inches | 26 |
height/inches | 57 |
weight/kg | 290 |
