Interesting lathe on ebay at the moment.

Item no. 111257524912

Well my old chuck was getting old, and was no good for precision work and i didn't have another set of jaws for it either, so i bought a new chuck ,£200 later and i had a 160mm vertex chuck and backplate, i am very pleased with it, although the backplate didn't fit properly and required some adjustm...

Hi
I am looking for a D1-3 160mm backplate, and was wondering if anyone had one for sale?
thanks

Hi
Can anybody tell me the correct thread size for my lathe? is it 1/2" x 10TPI right or left hand?

i want to use 3 buttons two for on/off and one for for/rev

Hi
where are the start and stop push buttons in this circuit?
Thanks

Thanks

Hi Think i might change the pulleys, i had thought of it but i didn't have much money then as i had just paid £300 for the lathe, and £200 for the inverter, what do you think i would get the lathe? (just curious) i thought it was a good buy at £300 and it was my first proper lathe and only being 16 ...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and thought i would write a quick post (or not so quick). I recently bought the viceroy 280vs off chrisG for £300, since i bought the lathe i have fixed a few problems, and encountered a few and also converted the lathe to single phase using a inverter. 1.
