Sold: Holbrook Edgar "swing-bed" Lathe
Holbrook Edgar Lathe - a superb example of this high-class antique, swing-bed lathe. Fully restored and in lovely condition. All the beds have been professionally re-scraped by hand and the bearings are in excellent condition. The lathe can be powered by treadle but has all the overhead gearing and a motor with new bearings fitted. It comes complete with a wide range of accessories that includes three 3-jaw chucks; a four-jaw independent chuck; a dividing head with two division plates; two steadies, two drill chucks; four faceplates; an extra gear set, boring and parting-off tools, Morse centres and a copy of the original manual. The lathe, which is in my workshop near Cambridge, can be dismantled easily and would fit in an estate car. This is a reluctant sale I am keen that the lathe goes to someone who really appreciates vintage British engineering. Details of Holbrook Edgar lathes here.
