Thread: British empire lathe

Yes apparently the mk1 was prone to suffer from crash damage.but on the mk2 thinks have been improved. How good I don't no until I have finished refurbishing the machine. Being 40 inch between centres and 6 /12 swing. Plus having the gap bed should prove useful with a large face plate.

Yes your correct. Although mine is badged as British empire they are a Dutch machine made by Elliott. Mine is complete. I managed to find an original fixed steady for it. Still trying to find a travelling steady.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I did see these pictures on lathes uk. The black cover that's at the back is where the cog is located. I will see if I can post a picture of mine.

Hi and good evening everyone. My name is Spencer and I have just joined the forum. I am looking for a little help if possible. I have a 3.5x20 Mellor lathe in very good condition. But unfortunately I am missing a little cog that operates the power cross slide. Also looks like the thread end has been sheared off. Has anyone got a Mellor lathe. If so would it be possible to take a photo of the little cog in place.
