Thread: eBay (and other auctions) Metalwork Stuff

Hi,

These are from the SME Museum at Moorebank. I tried to grab them both for our workshop but the bloke in charge wouldn't have a bar of it:

The Aborga radial arm drill press is actually smaller than it looks in the pictures, I wasn't able to run it but its been sitting idle for at least 18 mths.

For something that's in excellent condition it looks like it's had a total respray.

Hmmmm

Did Clisby spray the brass lines and connectors originally?

Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious.

Gumtree at it's best.

I dunno what's worse, the non existant headstock or the humungously weak and wide compound.

Unbelievable.

Rob

Bahaha that's gold.

I reckon the angle iron bed takes the cake....

Bahaha. That thing did my head in. I just sat there with my mouth open for about half an hour.
That reminds me, I have a Toyota Hilux for sale. Sure it's just the ashtray but...
What a classic.

Compound? Table? Wheres the X axis screw? Where is the head? Oops, this is a lathe! It does have stops on the carriage tho and I wonder what that bevel gear does out there.

A friends father built a lathe out of a car front axle/hub for the headstock(?) and a bit of about 3 inch galve pipe for the bed. The carriage was a two way drilling vice (compound drilling vice). Best he had at the time.

I normally never like that kind of stuff as that $300 Gumtree lathe. Its beginning to grow on me for its ingenuity.

Reminds me of a story granddad used to tell. He knew of these 2 blokes from Newcastle, got home from the great war. Had nothing between them, except for two sheet's of corrigated iron, and their imaginination. They went on to form a company called United Urinals.


(Not a true story B.T.W).

In the same vein, if all you had $50 bucks, a washing machine motor, and great intensions. Stroke of pure genious I tell you brothers, to use a liitle milling saddle as the top and cross slide. It doesnt actually slide up and down the bed. It uses the milling saddle for cutting. It gets a touch of accuracy just from using that milling saddle. You can shim / jack / beat with a lead hammer until that cuts semi-true. The hand wheel, still being a bevel gear gets 1 bonus points from me.

I'm voting for a whip around, we buy it, pack it up, and send it to the Syrian Rebels. (have you seen the you-tubes of what those guys are doing with S.B.A). They could cut munitions off a jerry rig like that.

This lathe was discussed in the Yahoo Schaublin group recently by the owner querying it's authenticity.

It's a Schaublin bed, but the headstock is something else, definitely not Schaublin. The collets are worth at least $10 each.

Be interesting to see what it brings.

Cheers

When the SV65 was listed on Ebay a few months ago ( and it popped up here) the seller said the collets were W20s. A few blokes on this forum were interested but their interest waned when they found out the headstock was a ring-in. I was interested in the collets but there was something vague about their description, vague enough not to bid on them. As it turns out they are not W20s and they aren't Schaublin.

Good point.

That wasn't raised in the discussion I read.

The guy that has this is moving it on pretty quickly.

Rob

Looking for a project? Starting at $700

At least it isnt painted...... thats a good thing right?
I think the 4 jaw storage is a nice touch.

Anyone happen to know the story behind those types of 3 jaw?
