Hello Marc and welcome – I was raised in Pontypool and spent many happy hols at Barry as a very young child. Aunty Joyce lost me on Barry beach once for an hour – I remember her crying when she found me. The Mitchell looks to be a bit bigger than the average model makers lathe – what will you be making with it?

Thank you both, pontypool only a few miles from me. The Mitchell is a fair size machine (for me anyway) but I only really had this one as the price was right and I was hoping to use it to do general farm repair stuff with it but I'm trying to figure out the quick change gearbox for thread cutting and I'm stuck… I don't have a manual and tried Tony's lathe but haven't heard anything back so thought I'd ask out here.
