I have a small lathe, a Taig/Peatol micro lathe II, got it from an antiques fair for £50. It’s a really useful bit of kit, used it for all sorts of things, the latest being some rough brass inserts for some Ekco A22 knobs. I could do with some new tools for it as I only have the one it came with, and the belt needs replacing now too.

The ones in the second post look similar to the one we had at my last workplace, which I believe came from Axminster Tools, it was a very good little lathe, I’d have liked one in my workshop!

My Grandad had a Myford Super 7 in his shed, I’d have loved to get my hands on it, but annoyingly after he had passed away, my Nan sold it to the gardener for £150.... along with a load of tools, a bench grinder, several chucks of various sizes, and whatever else he happened to fancy! I was not happy..

Regards
Lloyd
