That’s quite the chucks for a 7” lathe.

Funny that its listed as a 7 inch lathe but has a 16 inch 4 jaw chuck!

 

[Canadium]

"As is"! So what exactly is wrong with it?

Is that a 3J cucked up in a 4J?

 

[Tom O]

I’d say it has a missing gap and the chucks while usable are too big for it, I also see that the chuck doesn’t touch the backplate?

I’m wondering if he has the backing plate for the 3 jaw I belive theHarrison has a screw on collar that chuck may be undersize or for a Colchester maybe but it looks like the key on the taper is visible!

UK nomenclature — 7” throw over there equals 14” swing over here.

There's no threading or lead screws in it?

Too bad, otherwise I'd be on that like fat kid on a candy bar.

Thanks for posting John.

I've messaged the seller on kijiji a couple of times with no reply yet. If he has the missing components I might be tempted to offer $500.

 

[calgaryguy]

Seller has responded and said he does have the lead/feed and threading screws for the machine. He was also incredibly brief in his responses. I may take time today to go look at it and see whats up.

I think that's the best to go have a look then you will have a better idea, if he is brief with his answers he maybe hiding something or possibly lazy or had a lot of questions. One thing I have found is sometimes a low offer will often bring out more information out of a person when put in a way that the offer reflects the information being offered. Good luck to you
