Hi Keith,
Lookng for about 6" centre height, 20" between centres, metric/imperial screw cutting. Will need 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks, face plate, live centres, preferably 4 way indexed toolpost, and as you say tools and accesories.
Can pick up, no problem.
I'm restoring an old Brit' machine at present but build specials as a hobby so, having just turned 40, I promised myself a lathe
. Will probably look for a milling machine too, so keep your eyes peeled....
Have been looking at Warco and Chester stuff. Happy to pay market value for the right machine.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks matey!
