No connection with the seller, but I'd strongly recommend the Avon for anyone who wants a versatile machine that is also very precise because of the configuration of the bed bars. I bought mine secondhand and only sold it last year after about 15 years excellent service.

The above is still for sale on the bay at the moment, if anyone is looking for a quality lathe at a reasonable price.
(Or make an offer)

I have just picked one of these up as a main lathe and would also highly recommend it. It has to be one of the ugliest lathes going IMHO but I can't fault it for quality and solidity. Belt changing is easy and quick and the speed range is good enough for most jobs. Well worth the money (though I got mine for a lot less via the club he said gloating) and you want get an equal quality mosdern lathe for this price.

Also no connection to the vendor

... and just to add, you won't need a van to collect it. I got mine (which had a 2 foot bed extension as well) into the back of a Mk 3 Golf!
(and my back has now recovered, too........)

Ah Dick,
the van comment was for the bench.
I'm not sure whether you could put that into even a large estate car.

And I'm glad your back's better :lol: :lol:
