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
