Ebay

Recently I saw a nice well equipped old Lang lathe left unsold at £300 on Ebay.

Bargains are out there look, out for poorly described, dirty, poor photo, ETC.

And steer clear of dealers especially big ones like the above mentioned Electromotion.


P.S. good guidance can be had here. http://www.lathes.co.uk/page21.html

yes to the above our giant mitchell is a great tool, probably between the wars but can be adjusted for wear and 3/400£ biggest issue was shifing it down country and sorting some tooling as its far far bigger than anything else we had, having a 2 1/2 inch up the spout. and mt 4 in the tail stock. theres a denham at telford and a slightly younger mitchell like ours for a grand on atm.
