i bought this laith in 1994 when i first started designing lifeboat kits and semi kits from an old steam engine modeller.

it has had little use from me over the years to produce small brass fittings [to cast in resin] and in the past year whilst designing the big Barnett that i put up on here as a build, i used it for a maximom of 3 hours.

it works perfectly, and although shows a little virdigre it is just surface build up and easily removed by 400 grade wet/dry cloth.

it comes with 3 and 4 jaw chucks, 2 face plates, and other tools as photographed.

checking on prices on the internet, this top of range and last of the myfords [i believe] they range from £999 – £1400 without the metal cabinet.

If like me you wouild prefer to make your fittings the old fashioned way rather than 3D printing, this has always done me proud.

I am asking £750 ovno for it, but due to my health at the moment, it must be collected from my home near Blackpool, lancashire.

thanksd for the info Richard……will do so. cheers.

yes,

just measured it and the bed is 25 1/4 inches, and the serial number is an early one within the first 125 to be manufactured.so presumably around 1964/5 when they were first manufactured.

had an offer this morning but politely [not usually in my nature] refused it.

some " kind person" has already offered me £600 as that, he said, was all it was worth to him…………..he didn't like my reply, lol.

not at all Richard, please go ahead…………couple of bottles of fine red australian for you if it sells. thanks.

thanks for the info, Len

and NO, i didn't have a clue…………all i have ever used it for is turning small brass fittings to cast in resib such as bollards etc. thanks again………..will add that info to my adds. cheers.

thanks Colin……….i'll have a read after the rugby union…………..thats getting exciting lol,

Now sold. thanks.

Yes Richard, i was happy with the price, and to be honest just glad it has now gone to a good home, an engineer and machine turner in his day.thanks for the support.

neil.
