Hi all
Just some photos you may like, of the lathe.
I have been geting some parts & tooling off ebay.
The lathe.





you can see the condition it was in. I have stripped & cleaned it for now,
but my garage is in a tip no room to work.



The tools i picked up.
Mitutoyo DTI & Eclipse Mag base





The toolpost is a Alors AXA, made in the UK by Kingston Eng. It came with the lathe.
The tool holder are from China i think, Hess 250-102-XL but i got them new from the USA.
It was cheaper than buying them in the UK, from the UK £80, from the USA £60 inc S&H
And they will take a 5/8" tool, the UK one's only 1/2".








0 to 5" Micrometers, the Mitutoyo 2-3" is over 26 years old but is like new.
Mitutoyo & Moore & Wright.
The 0-1" i got in the 60s.





Mitutoyo & Moore & wright, 25mm to 75mm,
I must get a 0-25mm its on my list.





cheap Digital caliper





BA spanners, small tools & books for the lathe





Hope you like the post
