Hi all
Ive been offered the loan of a boxford bud lathe at home, to allow me to progress a bit quicker as my home lathe is a little too small really,
any way what attachments are available for this machine, what ones are interchangable with the other boxford machines, and if any one does have any, could you either post / pm some photos of what to look for, or if they need a new home pm me the details cheers

All of the boxford ABC with or without the UD suffix (underdrive) are interchangeable together with a lot of the southbend stuff, There are however two different centre heights either 4.52 or 5" so be careful with tail stocks etc. see www.lathes.co.uk for full information. I have used a myford vertical slide on mine but since upgraded to a proper mill. Nice photo by the way, my daily driver is a 2.6PI vitesse.
