How very odd you should mention this today . . . just last night while
reading through MEs ca.1981, I came across an advert for Whitecolt lathes
from Whitecote Machines, Cleckheaton, Yorks. In mid-May 1981, the basic
machine was offered at =A3875. I can recall considering one of these
machines back then, but decided aginst it when quality reports which were
generally less than complimentary began filtering in. One supposes that
such a machine will have by now had all its bugs and shortcomings, which
seemed to plague Asian machines, had been remedied. I'm surprised at how
many older . . . umm . . . mature MEs I have mentioned these lathes to over
the years who never heard of them.
