That's the best example I've ever seen and worth every penny of the £790 you paid imo.

I had the chance to buy my neighbours when he passed away a few years ago and though I bought his Meddings drill press, just couldn't justify the lathe. the guy was an electrical engineer and had bought it new originally for £40 so it was ancient but great working order with loads of accessories and also had a milling machine. i could have had the lot for around £400 and I'll always regret not taking it.

Have fun with yours

[QUOTE="Lons, post: 244807, member: 361"] That's the best example I've ever seen and worth every penny of the £790 you paid imo. I had the chance to buy my neighbours when he passed away a few years ago and though I bought his Meddings drill press, just couldn't justify the lathe. the guy was an electrical engineer and had bought it new originally for £40 so it was ancient but great working order with loads of accessories and also had a milling machine. i could have had the lot for around £400 and I'll always regret not taking it. :sob: Have fun with yours :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
