A new lathe

[Maurice D]

Well folks I have finally taken the plunge. Yesterday I ordered the new lathe the boss said I could have. I have ordered a CL3-CAM with the corresponding lathe bench, from Record Power. The people in sales were a pleasure to deal with and gave me a good price. I have had to order it via a participating stockist but the sales staff at Record telephoned them and told them the price to charge. All I have to do now is dispose of my previous lathe and rearrange the workshop (shed) to accommodate it.

Would it be in line with the forum rules to give details of my previous lathe to forum members before I listed it on Ebay?

Here are the current rules Maurice,so take from them what you will.
Though others have made the first posts a for sale and it as been ok-ish.
If you are not sure ask Noel/Charley the current mods for permission.
Noel might reply quicker.

Quick, put a few of your turned pieces up for 'critique' to demonstrate your commitment!
Only kidding, but I thought it was a good excuse to see some more turned goodies. I just love looking at pictures :lol:

Many people put their old machines up here first; I think it is a good thing to offer other members first shot at a nice deal. I've got a number of things off fellow members

Hi Maurice

I recently purchased a CL3 together with the VSLK upgrade - Put in a nutshell - I don't think you will be disappointed! =D> =D>
