[modeleng] Re: Scroll saw & lathe

Hi Jem,
   
  I may be interested in the lathe. Any chance of a photo please? I am on hol 
for a week so a mate may reply to you next week.

  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
