Here's a nice old machine, a Raglan 5 Inch precision lathe. This was a fine and rather expensive lathe in it's day, but it's done a bit of work now and would benefit from a bit of time spent cleaning it up and sorting it out.

It's a three phase machine. It runs and the variable speed belt drive works, but might need adjustment. It doesn't come with a chuck. There's a box of parts including some change gears for threading, what I think is the original cross slide, a face plate, and tailstock. The turret seems to work nicely and feels smooth. The carriage feels tight, likely because it's sat for quite a while and dust has thickened the way oil. From a quick inspection the ways seem in good condition. The original cross slide appears to have been swapped for the extended type with T slots at the back - a useful addition I'd expect.

I bought it on a whim thinking I'd clean it up, add a chuck and DRO (see my other auctions!) and put it to work, but unfortunately I don't have either the time or space any more. I have a scanned copy of the manual and parts list which I can forward to the purchaser.

Pick up is in Frankton, Hamilton. We can help load. I'd prefer not to ship it, but if you're particularly keen let me know and we can work something out.

Please ask if you have any questions, and please check out my other auctions!
