Hi Andy, > It's nice to see one of those lathes with a new lease of life, they > are very nice machines. >
Yes, they are good machines. I stripped off most of the enclosure as it is mainly used in manual mode for one-offs. The electronics now run on single phase, including the inverter which is powered from a 415V transformer. It makes the lights flicker a bit when it winds up to speed :-) > I wonder if eBay 120464845266 would be any help for the drilling operation? > My toolpost isn't compatible with Dixon holders. The machine came with a nice set of Dixon holders but a lot of my tooling was too big to fit so I fitted the tool post off my old Gate Rigidturn. If I was doing a lot I would have put the drill in a tool holder but as I was only doing 8 I couldn't be bothered.
