    I'll take a photo of mine , I got it and the 3 phase motor from a Sparky in QLD , swapped it for a Iveco transfer case mount I machined from billet. (I make them from alloy castings now that Chazza on here pours for me)

    Speaking of bad descriptions on eBay , I bought what I thought was a pair of 'shocks" , from a Vendor ,, when only one arrived I complained and asked for the other one , they changed the description to read 'shock' and are trying to blame me. luckily I took a screen capture of the original advert from my cache.

    Well the first job for the lathe is here ready to go - just need the lathe now... 😆

    Thankfully there’s no rush, but it will give me something to do when it gets here. Will be an interesting setup and fixture too. Might start a seperate thread on the lathe, or maybe an Aussie Machining Youtube channel? 👍

    Really I don't know what I ever did before I had a home lathe and milling machine,
    Its unbelievable how much I use mine and the first few jobs I did well and truly paid for itself.

    Ive got a crappy Chinese clone mill but it does the job if I go slow. I secretly hope it blows up so I can justify a Bridgeport .

    I know, you used a bow type thing with a cord attached & pushed & pulled it back & forth depending on what speed you required. No engine power, no electrical power just buggered at the end of the day.

    Ah hang about, that was the McPhersons 5/8" Pedestal Drill. OOPS!

    The mill that is coming is a cheaper Chinese mill, but will keep me out of trouble for a bit. Interestingly, the lathe I bought is Chinese too - but built in the 1970’s So a very different proposition to what comes from there today and it’s considered to be a decent quality machine.

    These are still being made as the B and C series to this day which are virtually identical in all functionality and specs. - China Ca Series of Lathe Machine (Lathe CA6240 CA6250 CA6266 CA6280) - China Lathe, Lathe Machine

    Doubtful they would have built basically the same lathe for over 40 years if it wasn’t half decent.

    Jeeezuz, that'd be playing with fire & one's privates if the works got caught up with the gear. My eyes just smarted.

    Bloody hell now you tell me! If I'd known that I'd have bought one for just living day to day.

    It would be more that capable of ripping any part off you then beating you to death with the bloodied stump. 😁
