I'll tell you when it arrives, the guy i'm buying it from  reckons it weighs around the 200kg mark . Been getting some outrageous prices for delivery up here where I stay in the north of Scotland the lathe is in exeter in Devon 

Anyone on here know of any cheap companies who deal with pallet deliveries .

I have a friend whom owns a local plant sales/hire company and he’ll get it done for ?75+vat …..result! !!

Well … that’s lathe paid for and packaged for coming up the road tomorrow …..

I'd imagine it wont be here until Thursday at the earliest . That'll give me time to sort where i'm going to put it …

Don't know if i'm excited or apprehensive …Lathe was bought of Gumtree but Charlie the guy i bought it off has been amazingly helpful ,especially for staying back after his working hours today waiting for the lathe to be picked up .

Lathe is now sitting outside she’d wrapped up for the night until I rearrange and decide where it’s going . I Don’t get home till after 8 so I haven’t had the energy nor the time . But my goodness I underestimated the size of the Stedall .
Cast iron undercarriage if you like and the lathe itself, it took 2 of us to lift each one and we’re not weaklings . First thing I’ve done is spray the whole lathe with WD40 . Unfortunately someone in their wisdom have fitted grease nippless and used grease on the headstock bearings !!!!,and they are roller bearings so not sure if that’s good or bad depending on which grease was used I suppose. It looks like I may have power crossfeed not absolutely sure yet will confirm when I have a closer look . . Anyways , I will not doubt be picking people on here’s brains at some point lol .
Will post some detail photos tomorrow and maybe you guys can give me your options.

Thanks Sean

Think I might need it lol

Thanks for that Mark ,now i'm getting somewhere .
