Very cheap Excel lathe on ebay

[Deleted]

I don't know anything about these machines, but this looks like it could be a bargain for somebody!

I do- and I don't. I owned a Axminster 9180 which was quite similar except that mine had a spindle nose to accept 'Myford' threads.

It suffers one major fault and that is in UK motoring, it's slowest speed is 130 rpm which users might find unacceptable. There is a mod of way back to slow it down.
Again, it can be Imperialised fairly simply.

If anyone is interested, I could further expand what I
did to mine.
