Name the comm lathe.....

I would call it Dave, it looks like a Dave

[Lee]

Do you think Chris, i think its more of a Steve, i think Daves fart and burp to much for it to be one.

I know someone who would know, these lathes were the mutts nuts years ago.

[ben]

So whats it worth? Its now for sale haha. But i still havent been told what the make is lol

[notlawnomis]

These lathes were made by a couple of guys in their spare time during the late 80's early 90's. I don't think they set up as a company. New they were about £200-£250, as few companies at the time sold com lathes and most people either sent their comm's off to be skimmed or found someone with one of these to skim their motors.

Still a better bit of kit than some of the more recent lathes available!!

[ben]

So do ya wanna buy it simon

[notlawnomis]

[Lee]

Like i said ben, they are the daddy of lathes, keep hold if i were you, they are very rare!!

[Kopite]

Richard Heys used to have that lathe, it's a cracking lathe to be fair (far better than the Cobra one that was out at the time, that was toss)
