Fellow swarfmakers,
I am looking for good homes for two small machines, on behalf of a friend of
mine who recently departed for the marshalling yard in the sky.
One is a Nu-Tools Performance Power Products SS16-4 405mm Scroll Saw,
complete with its instruction manual. Looking at it, I reckon that it has had
very little use.
The other is a small lathe, in what appears to me to be a very nice
condition. I have only managed a cursory look at this machine. It is not an
imported machine. There is no name on it, which suggest to me that it is 'home
made', or rather made at a technical college with all its facilities. It has a
single dove-tailed slideway for the bed, and there is a gap which permits a
swing of about 9cm (sorry about that chaps, but the only rule on the bench at
the time was a metric only one). There are three chucks, plus a tail-stock
chuck. The machine is light enough to be lifted onto the kitchen-table, but
there is a comforting solidity to it that I do not associate with micro-lathes.
There is a 4-way tool post that is bigger than the one on my Myford ML10. It
does require an electric motor to power it. Sometime during the next week or
so, I should have the opportunity to measure this lathe, to give you a better
idea of its size and capacity.
Both machines are in Essex. I have guestimates in my mind as to the asking
prices, but what is more important is that they should go to someone who would
appreciate and have a use for them.
Best wishes,
Jem
