Hi Guys

 

I've decided to clean out my workshop and to get rid of my old but very usefull machines.

The machinery consists of:-

Le Blonde centre lathe http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab254/Botbuilder/Le_Blonde.jpg

Smart & Brown centre lathe http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab254/Botbuilder/SmartBrown.jpg

Bridgeport Universal Mill http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab254/Botbuilder/Bridgeport.jpg

An old Donkey Saw http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab254/Botbuilder/Donkey_Saw.jpg

As stated the machinery is old but still works well, whereas I wouldn't think them fit for long production runs they are great

for a hobbyist (and all single phase)

I would think all the machines are pre 1945

The Le Blonde is has about a 6" throw about 24" between centers, has a three jaw chuck, a face plate with a four jaw chuck attached and various bits and bobs to go with it. (£250)

The Smart & Brown is about 5" swing and about 24" bewtween centers, it has three & four jaw chucks, a face plate, collet chuck (not a complete set of collets), and a taper turning attachment

it has a Mitstubishi inverter to give control of speed and Direction (£400)

Bridgeport Mill with some R8 collets, vice, milling cutters etc. (£150)

Donkey Saw (£50)

The bad news is you will have to move it, a couple or three burly blokes and a good trailer should do it.

The machines have served me well, but it looks like the grim reaper has other ideas for my retirement :db: so may as well get rid of them now before the wife has to do it.

I'm open to offers but I thought I'd put them on the forum before a resort to ebay.

Do not sell your gear short! The stuff esp the the Bridgeport is worth more.

 

Look at ebay consider putting on there.

 

If I had space at that price for the mill I would be halfway down the motorway with trailer by now.

 

 

Cheers Adrian

Thanks Adrian, but the machines have served me well for many years and owe me nothing. I would rather they went to people like me who are enthusiastic about making stuff,and not just out to make a quick buck :80:
