Lathe and Mill needed

[haemish762]

Hello all,

I need to upgrade my of Hecus 260, its a great accurate little machine, but i have found that it has reached its potential for what i am doing and struggles a bit with larger diameter stuff.

Other than ebay/pay, would anyone know of something other than a H&F used lathe along the lines of the Colchester Triumph with a foot spindle break that would be sitting idle that they'd be happy to consider selling?

Also i need a basic drill/mill for some light work.

Cheers H

Hey there, Not at the moment. I need to find a replacement before i can sell it as i still need a lathe.

Sort of defeats the purpose...a la ebay sticky.....but if not particularly wed to a colchester, there's a graziano coming up shortly on Grays - no foot brake....and a much more desirable TOS, probably a bit more machine than a triumph though.

Both look particularly dirty, so maybe utter rubbish.
