Floor heated lathe
« on: April 20, 2014, 06:07:39 AM »
Became widower and moved lathe,dog and myself to a new home.
Lathe cannot be bolted down due to the district heating pipes in floor.
Lathe is a Boxford modified for overdrive,to save space,and lathe bed is bolted very firmly to 100 kg of granite.Turns very well

A lathe in the house is  :whoohoo:

May I recommend a small vacuum cleaner for collecting the swarf  ;)
