Vintage Le Blonde lathe – free

[simonpunyerParticipant @simonpunyer]

Is anyone interested in this old Lathe? Early 1900s I believe, used by a toolmaker at Vickers Dartford. Some tools too, including 4 jaw chuck.

Unused for over 50 years, kept indoors but clearly exposed to damp and with significant rust.

Located East Kent, can lift onto transport at location.

Too far away and I have no room, but this will bump it up to the top of the list again.

Would have it in a minute but similar to Grindstone bit far from the north of Scotland and I think I would have problem fitting it into a Toyota AYGO otherwise a quick rubdown with an oily rag and Roberts your fathers brother.   Nearly.

I don’t have room but that is a nice lathe. Even has a screwcutting gearbox.
The geared head variant is nicer but well worth saving.
If no takers here I’d stick it on ebay. You might be surprised what it could make.

Thanks all – will try Ebay as suggested,
