    Looking at the compliance plate it looks to be 400/415 Volts. Not everyone has 3 phase connected to the shed, but I do , so does . And he's got the forklift to move it into position .

    Settle down !

    It's not long ago you added a lathe from Wallan to your
    collection and took up valuable space. Now you have done
    it again.

    The answer: Add an annexe to your shed and make Anne-Marie
    work eight days each week.

    Default Mmm, Wadkin....

    Nice one ,
    Those Wadkin RS lathe's are a beautiful machine, a pattern-makers favourite.
    Thought you might appreciate some Wadkin literature on the subject too...

    Thanks for that LS Barker. I love old machines.


    Well, it is not here yet and I have been thinking about a name for it.

    The little Wadkin is Walter so I think his big brother should reflect its status.

    It has to be grand and regal I think. William came to mind but then he would get called Bill, rather common I think for something so stately. No offence to any Bills' on the forum.

    I shall throw open the challenge of naming the lathe to the learned people on here.

    The person with the winning name picked by Tea Lady and myself will go down in immortality and there might even be a little bonus.

    How about Windsor, a very regal and proper British name.

    Being a Wadkin RS shouldn't it start with R, like Reginald ?
    might become Reg for short..
