Description
I have for sale a Relmac Gapbed Collet Lathe: Old, but amazing condition with 99% of original hand-scraping marks present and with excellent bearings, leadscrew thread and bed surface.
Overall length= 40" (31-1/ 2" at base 'feet'); Height = 17" ; Bed length = 19" ; Centres = 15"; max swing = 9"
Currently rigged for direct 'v'-belt drive from a good 1/ 4hp British AEI motor, it is ready for plain turning (no parts now present for screwcutting - but check Ebay!)
Accessories include: 6" 4-jaw chuck + key; 3" 3-jaw chuck + key ; British Sphere tailstock chuck + key; 9" faceplate; Collet drawbar and six standard Crawford 5/ 8th collets; travel stop gauge; two Morse centres; and a blockboard base to mount it on (with clamping bars)
Can (just!!) be lifted by one fit person, but will fit into an average hatchback.
(ps: Motor now fitted with three-step pulley to give better cutting speed choices)
