amateur Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) If anyone is looking for a small lathe, I have for sale a 1920s Henry Milnes, which comes with 2x 3-jaw chucks, 1 x 4-jaw chuck, faceplate, a full set of screw cutting change gears (metric and imperial), drill chuck, centres, a range of tools and a 240v 1/2 hp electric motor, drive belts and countershaft. The lathe is mounted on a solid blockboard and occupies 24" x 40", including the countershaft and motor. I have had it for over 35 years, used it successfully to make bits for my bikes, cut threads on it. It is adjustable for wear, not that there is much on it! I am in NE Kent, not far from the M25, and it will take two strong men to lift it into a car boot.

I am not down the pub drinking away my wages. I am not chasing other women. I come in when dinner is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyflier Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I bought my Wife an Atlas 10F lathe for Easter one year, she complained so much I had to go out and buy her a chocolate egg and use the lathe myself. How ungrateful 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
