This is the first view of the lathe when it had been sitting for a few years in a friend”s barn. A price was agreed and he even delivered it!

Looking forward to hearing more as I have a Chipmaster that appears to be of similar vintage.

Mine is running on the original 3ph motor via a Siemens inverter (converted by me plus much advice from the forum).

Wonderful lathe – good luck!
