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
