Hi  All
Having  just aquired myself a Colchester Bantam my old Boley lathe  is now 
redundant. The question is what to do with it? Being a plain lathe  without 
screw cutting and now only single speed a dealer is unlikely to want  it, 
however 
it is still reasonably accurate and I can't bring myself to 'throw  it away', 
so any ideas?

Hi Andy,
    You could try moving it on Ebay, there seems to be  a regular trade in 
Lathes.
OK on the Colchester Bantam, I also have one and have been using it now for  
about two years, I replaced the ML7 with the Bantam and I have never regretted 
 it. When I originally got it,  it was the 800/1600 version in Three Phase,  
since then I have fitted a Dual Voltage  3 Phase Motor and run it using an  
inverter with speed control, it is just great to run and much more  versatile.
    I am looking for a fixed steady for mine that is  the only thing that was 
missing.
Good luck with the Bantam
