Sorry, now sold

The motor is a single phase 240V 1420 RPM Cub Motor rated at 1/3HP. It is wired for forward operation, and has a standard 3 pin plug fitted. It could be wired for forward / reverse operation if the wiring is replace with 5 core cable, and a suitable switch is used.
Please note the following points about this lathe
- Change gear cover as seen in the photos only has a temporary fixing to it as the previous owner had used the lathe without the cover fitted. A new mounting hinge needs to be made, and a suitable bracket for fixing the front of the cover needs to be fabricated.
- The lead screw has visible wear to it
- There is a certain “knack” needed to operating the feed reversing gearbox at the headstock end of the leadscrew to find the neutral position.
- The power cross feed spindle and gear was not used by the previous owner, I refitted this item as it was in the “box of bits” that were with this lathe. Again, there is a bit of a “knack” to using this control as the clearance between it and the cross slide handle is a bit limited. It’s very easy to remove this control if not required – unlike a Myford, it is easy to access the inside of the carriage just by removing a couple of screws.
Shipping to UK mainland (excluding Highland addresses) will by via pallet delivery.
