Hmmm, that's a thought. It'd save me a trip. "Cheshire" is all I know at
the moment.

's about 5'x4'x3', and 1300lb I think, so a bit more'n half a ton. They
claim to have gear to load it, and provided I can get it to go high enough,
I can unload using the engine crane, which is good for 2T. Wasn't going to
be a problem if I hire a small plant trailer as was my original plan.

Should be OK if you get it on headstock-forward, the tailstock will be less
of a barrier to the lifting device, and in any case is probably not too hard
to get off if necessary.

Can you secure it suitably so it won't shift around on the road?

It'd be a big help if you can. I've plenty to do besides spending
half-a-day plus going to Cheshire ATM. Would certainly earn you (another)
pint or two.

it weighs over half a ton, I doubt it needs it. I'll mostly only be doing
small, balanced work in it anyway.

Well I certainly pass through "Cheshire, and I'm taking the boys' chairs
off their mounts, so there SHOULD be room. And it will be fun carrying a
bit of mass on the back for a change.... I trust a minor contribution
to the LPG might be made ???

How HIGH is it ?

I've always wondered why, on ebay you can search by postcode to find
local items (and itll tell you how many miles away they are), but you
cant get the postcode up for an auction item!

Sometimes, I haven't worked out why you only get the distance on some
items. Maybe the sellor hasn't filling in their post code?

> but you cant get the postcode up for an auction item!

So you can't plug said postcode into multimap or similar and find out
where the item is within a few hundred yards. Then go and "borrow" the
item...

You could get all the delivery points for a given postcode from the
some Post Office site, haven't looked recently but I expect you still
can.

Hi Austin,
Have you found out why he listed it with hydaulic copying also catch
plate, see if he has a four jaw chuck to go with it as they fetch a fair bit
seeing they have a LO fitting on the rear of the chuck so you cant fit any
old chuck. Before I forget make sure you get the spanner for undoing the
chuck. its a pity its not up and running so you can check the gear change as
the gears on Students are known for being noisy.
Happy turning. Rotty

'bout 4 ft. And I can offer actual LPG, provided you get here with space to
put it in... needs wither and ACME screw adaptor or the kind of adaptor
thread on the vehicle which is about 18mm or so diameter.

Given the latter, I have an adaptor, and there's still a few hundred litres
of gas in the bulk tank.

Not far of M62 J11, from the address I've now got. Postal address is
Warrington, but luckily not necessary actually to go to the pesky place.

I've asked what they have in the way of lifting gear. Might be questionable
if it's overhead, unless you're prepared to undo the back of the hood and
move a few hoops. Wouldn't have been an issue with a flatbed trailer, which
I originally had in mind.

I imagine it was listed like that and then later the bits were removed.

Apparently the Mk 1 was noisy when new. Something to do with the type of
headstock gears - Mk2s are more expensive when they show up and have better
and quieter gears.

Happier than with the current machine, I hope :)

My mate thought exactly the same. It does .....

If the stuff's balanced already then you'll likely get away with it, but, as
above, my mate found the greatest improvement in the quality of finish he
got was from bolting the lathe down rigidly, especially (strangely?) when
facing stuff..

Yeha, i guess that is the reason.

Yeah - I see the reasoning behind that - but they could leave the
'distance in miles' on there.

This is an interesting spin on the old thread of getting Posh Ted from
one end of the country to t'other. Moving heavy engineering machinery
certainly has more street cred ;-)

's a good point, and I'll look into it. The existing one is too small,
really, hence the replacement - I could do the work that's needed on the
current one, but it's still too small.
