The Rolls Royce of lathes and looks unused.
Just plug in to the grid, 117mm bore through headstock, tasty.

I think I could move to the UK and buy a shop there cheaper than shipping it to me here.   :bugeye:

Nice lathe but to make use of it I would need to be building steam engines in 2x scale instead of 1/6 scale.   Does it come with a powered crane to swap chucks??
