Hi all Does anyone recognise this? Seem extremely solid for a small drill so I am wondering if it was originally part of a mill

Picked this one up the other night It was poorly listed on eBay, in bits with the above terrible picture, hence generated little interest As it was cheap and close I placed a bid and won. Once home loosely assembled it to see if it was complete - which it is. It came with a new old stock...

Picked this one up this morning for a few pounds. Can't see a makers name at the moment. Unusual shape for the UK. Appears to be a nice casting 4" jaws that open 7" Not original colour, believed to date from the 40s/50s

Hi all I have the above - pictured below I needs new seals. Does anyone have any experience in refurbishing?

Pick this one up off ebay for pocket change - it closed at a odd time on Xmas day and was poorly listed. Anyway it arrived early this morning hence the slipper as a reference mark It's a Epco No 75 2.5 ton works well, but from what I can work out should be red - I'll get around to that at...

Scrubbed up ok. Just need to find a tail stock and tool post now

Picked up a Raglan Loughbrough Training Lathe last night. It was listed as a rusty lathe in the local ads for £30. The pic below is after an hr or so work with a power washers and wire brush. All bits not move freely. I'll probably end up keeping it

Picked up a Woden 7" carpenters vise today. For £1 off ebay and only 4 miles off the daily route who wouldn't

balane - very jelous

Cheers Guster - where are the bearings to which you refer - in the head stock either side of 3 step cone pulley?

By big pulley I mean the large 12" one top left. In the set up shown in the pic the pulley on the motor was 2.5" giving speeds of 148 / 296 / 592 Im not looking to do anything to technical at the moment - just make some crash bobbins for a motorcycle out of aluminium

I found this page. http://www.lathes.co.uk/latheparts/page3.html I think Ill go for a 7" pulley as they are readily available at a resonable price. This will give me speeds of 200 / 400 / 800 rpm which should be sufficient to get me started. Im only tickering around at the moment

Yeap - just like that
