I have had mine for around 12 years now, and when i was researching what i could about this lathe, i found that Joe Martins "Craftsmanship Museum" also has one.After discussing this lathe with Tony Griffiths, concerning the number of change gears i also got an email from a lad in New Zealand that had one, but his was i think the earlier model if i remember.
I was thinking that if I started a Wade Cav fan club it would be pretty lonely. But now it looks like there would be 3 of us anyway. Probably more fans than...oh never mind, I don't think I will go there.What are you using to run yours, direct drive motor or do you have a counter-shaft? I'd love to see some pictures.Mine came with the chuck and draw bar and an assortment of collets. I have no idea if it was an original option. The collets appear to be 8mm watchmakers lathe collets. Look on e-bay under watchmakers lathe.John
