Cheers Andy now this is going to sound stupid but how do I engage the gears... what levers do that? the reason I ask is that my turnings are going to be knurled and that should be done at a low speed, I will at some point look for a manual on this lathe Merv

Hi chaps here’s the latest, lathes now in the workshop with Jaguar CUB inverter and remote all installed and running. Just a couple of quick questions that I’m baffled about, firstly not sure if I'm doing something wrong here but why is it that I can slow the speed down almost to a stop with...

OMG they are amazing, I have already made one mistake with not getting the right machine - luckily I got my money back so i need to get it right. As I say this is mostly the type of thing I will be making my first batch all sold within a week, the reason for this long drawn out topic is I am...

Thanks Wizard looking at it now... do you know what model that is

LOL well that settles that then! This is the Boxford I'm looking at http://www.homeandworkshop.co.uk/boxford.htm?59527 That’s being honest, thanks Guys I'm not going to touch it then, I have found one Boxford CUD that looks in an ok condition and it is 240v I have enquired about a coolant...

Thanks for the replies guys, the Boxford A model was not that good for the money they were asking £1150.00 in an un-cleaned condition then I would have to add an inverter to the cost plus a few tools so it would have totalled around £1350.00 - £1450.00. Have anyone any thoughts on the...

Hi all I have found a model A Boxford.. now I have to look for the right inverter I spoke to one lathe company and they said that the motor has to be duel voltage to use an inverter...is this true? I'm hoping the lathe I'm looking at has a duel voltage otherwise I'm back to square one again... I...

Cheers guys, a model A what’s the difference?... sorry chaps but this is a whole new world for me as I'm mainly a woodturner, is a model A better machine and as for a digital read out yes that would be handy but not essential, I could probably go to about £1100.00 but I want a good Boxford for...

Yer I'm not sure which one if I need one at all. Merv

Hi again guys just a quick one if the lathe I'm looking at is 3 phase although it dont list it as single or 3 phase how easy and how much would it cost to convert 3ph to 240v heres the listed lathe I'm looking at http://www.bwmachinetools.co.uk/machine ... mber=10495 Merv

Wizard I will give you £130.00 for it...lol - got my eye on a Boxford CUD now, I think I could lead into problems with transport with a Colchester Bantam - looking at the the Boxford I think I should be able to remove it from the base and move it easier and still provide my needs. Good luck...

Thanks Dick I think my heart is set on A Colchester lathe now either the Bantam 800 or a Student if I can pick one up localized to where I live my son-in-laws father has a big van with a tail lift, failing that I have a pick-up truck that will take a 1000kg but then I would need to hire an...

Good morning all, you have now converted me into wanting a bantam 800 or a student lathe I have found this one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/colchester-ba ... 2a385ada7c got another question the lathe is not too far from me, is it easy enough to remove some of the parts to make it lighter...

Some really great advise... where would I be without you lot. I'm toying with the idea of a Bantam, these a guy in colchester wos selling one and I'm only 15 minutes away from the Colchester so i may ring him. Best regards Mervyn Keep the advise coming guys

right so where can I pickup a good boxford lathe from gooing to have to a single phase though

Now that’s a very good point Mick...something I was not aware of that they are a company, food for thought! I think I will certainly ask some detailed questions. Thanks Mick Merv

Hi everyone thanks for the great tips, I'm still a little in the dark where my options only seem to be Myford ML7 and ML super, the ML7 is the way I'm thinking because of getting the it down to my workshop with ease anything bigger is just not going to happen, now I sort of blown my budget out...
