They are getting closer to my prices! Must keep an eye out or they will be underselling me before I notice.

I used to live a few doors down from the george st,parramatta showroom.

they had all sorts of very old gear in the window like a antique shop.
then they started selling asian $100 drills and lathes and moved out.

I thought they closed down.

My boy has one of their lathes sitting in my shed,it was around $4500 with tooling.
Been an excellent bit of gear.
He has left home to study engineering at UWA.

I'm seriously eyeing up the hobby lathe kit on the back page. I'm making a list of the things I could make with a lathe that I have thought about buying. When I looked at materials for my latest project this weekend, I figured $50 for the materials to make the 6 items I need that cost $50 each on Fleabay. So that's $300 justified. Now what else have I wanted a lathe for in the last couple of years??

Combined mill and lathe would be awesome .

Just a tip!
If you are looking at getting a lathe make sure you get one with a reasonable size spindle bore and good size swing. As most here are into playing with or restoring series vehicles a lathe that can take a 10 or 11 inch brake drum (without removing the block) is handy.
Other than that it is endless what can be knocked up in a lathe.

Cheers, Mick.
