    Default old metal lathe

    I saw this and wondered what the manufacture and history might be:

    Antique metal Lathe medium size with spares,tools,chuck and spare belt in GC. | eBay

    Matty??

    Cheers,
    Paul McGee

    Paul, I've only just fallen over this post, but I can tell you the lathe is damn near a clone of one I bought three years ago as a doer-upper and it's sat unused since. Try "Chekko" lathes on Page Title and look toward the bottom, you'll see resemblances in some of the components, like the bed casting, but not all. The Czechoslovak ("Chekko"?) lathes were put together in various configurations and components, by SOAG of (I think) Juxon Street, London.

    Paul and Sam I don"t have much on metal lathes at all, but I did have a mate looking over my shoulder while I was on the computer and he said his metal lathe is a dead match for that one too, He is going to get a name and pic's over the weekend for me.
    Have a good one guys, and Sam keep warm, open fire's and warm soup hey ?!

    Thanks Matty, I look forward to that. I have some photos on Flikkr, but they are general shots of the rubbish tip my shed degenerates to, and the lathe is secondary. I'll try to get some better ones this weekend as I am due to photo-record a Wadkin AGS renovation for a bloke on ukworkshop.co.uk and I'll snap a couple of the massive iron beastie at the same time.

    Keep warm? Hot woman, warm dram, deep duvet, done!

    Right Mates, I didn't get out to the workshop yet, but here's an obscured shot of the lathe under a welter of odd bits in another (old) photo:
