Has anybody got the foot print dimensions of the Boxford X10 lathes ? loads of of info on lathes.uk but I cannot see physical dimensions.

Thanks Peter

The measurements for the 280

Actual footprint is 1150 x 460

Overall length is 1200 and overall depth from the to rear of the splashback is 800

Height to the top of the headstock is 1200

There are a couple of different base styles across the range which might effect the measurements and. I think (but don't quote me) the 280 is the same length as the 10-20 and 11-20 with the 10-30 and 11-30 being 10 inches longer.

Thanks Gav, looking to swap my ME10 for a good x10. What would be a reasonable price for a good X10 ?

There is no definitive answer to that question.

In my limited experience, price depends on age, condition, ancilliary equipment, your ability (or not) to collect and luck.

The one I mentioned in your previous thread sold today on ebay for £1900, which was a steal. I have seen them on ebay for even less though one dealer on there is currently asking over £6K for one. I think if you are prepared to wait for the right one, prepared to travel and have the wherewithall to collect yourself, you could get change from £2K. If you can't collect or arrange collection yourself, you will tend to be at the mercy of the dealers and the price will likely be higher.
