Mark
Thank you very much for your post, it was a very interesting read and reasures me that the chances are that it is a very good quality lathe. I will have a chat to Dad about this lathe and see what we can do as from what you're saying it sounds like its the sort of lathe that will set me up for the rest of my life! Hopefully i can get down there for a look at it later this week as there seems to be a lot of interest on it sadly. Many thanks James

Hi Carl
I will keep that in mind when i go to view it, if we decide were interested as it seems like the perfect lathe other than weight and that's only a problem once. i seems like everyone has had good experiences with the dean smith and grace lathes, and that they really are the "rolls royce of lathes" as the chap on lathes.com described it. Many thanks James

The Dean Smith & Grace sold for £986 tonight.
There is a CVA Lathe on Ebay right now, as suggested by Mark Rigg earlier in the thread. CVAs don't come on the market often as they were only made in small numbers and only in one size. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1117931347...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Hi
I sadly see the Dean smith and grace escaping out of my budget, probably would have been a little too big sadly. The CVA is a bit far away but it looks a nice lathe. Im in no huge rush as ive got plenty to do on LS before i start needing a lathe so ill just keep my eyes peeled. Does anyone know anywhere else to look for lathes except the obvious couple (ebay, gumtree and back of OG) Thanks James
