I'm 70 now and I still have the 6" and 12" rulers that I bought in my first year of engineering apprenticeship, they are inches on one side and metric on the other made by Rabone Chesterman. They are both shiny and well worn now and my eyesight is not what it was I could do with one graduated in 1/4 inches now Ha ha.

Thread: Chinese 7x10 lathe

Thank for all your replies guys you put my mind at rest. Now I have seen 7 x 12 and 7 x 14 on Ebay from the Czech republic, is this a risky purchase ? where did you guys source your lathes ? Ian.

Thread: Advice on Choosing A Mini Lathe

I have asked a question about Chinese lathes before I found this thread, the thing that has stopped me buying one is that they are rated at 220volts, will these work on our household system o 240volts ?

Thread: Chinese 7x10 lathe

30/03/2019 13:53:19

I'm a retired toolmaker and this is my first posting on this sight, I would love to buy a lathe for model making but it must be small and fit in a box room in my home. I'm aware that most of you will say buy a British machine secondhand but size and price are a problem, I notice that these Chinese lathes are rated at 220volts so will these run on a 240volt system. Sorry but electrics I'm a complete numpty. Thanks in advance. Ian.
