This is apparently a new 0.37kW 4 pole motor with built-in VFD. It's junction box cover is missing. Price is a fraction of list price at currently $AU100, location is Tulamarine. No bids so far. The data sheets and user manual can be downloaded from the SEW site. . This unit requires 380 to 430V input. This could also be achieved by a step-up transformator. I would probably bid on it if I had 3phase power available at my home.

Michael G was looking for a turret lathe.

By chance I just had a look at it earlier today. It is a very nice well made machine. But its nearly 3,000kg. And unlike purely mechanical lathes, with this one has to contend with a few electric clutches in the drive train. And with some pretty obsolete electrics and electronics. Even at $100 starting price, and the confidence you can always sell it for 30x more as scrap metal, this could become a pricey home shop machine to move home and maintain running. There could be several hundreds of hours to get this thing working again as intended. I would not take it for free, unless it came with full service manuals and with circuit diagrams (and I consider myself an old school electronics expert that still remembers working with punched tapes....).

Is this cheap?

Ben.

I think I'd buy that if it was cheap enough to transport back to Melbourne

Nice, but... that model (120-TO) is a plain turning model, so no screw cutting and does not look like power feed either. You could possibly mate it up with something like this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCHAUBLIN...item1e9e3082cc (wrong series I know) for a second op lathe but not as useful for a home workshop without that screw cutting capability.

Different series, different bed. http://anglo-swiss-tools.co.uk/schaublin-120-120vm/

The Gumtree 120 looks nice but accessories are probably close to non existent.

But on the pics I can make out a 3 jaw chuck, 4 jaw chuck, 18 collets, life center, dead center, tailstock chuck, a faceplate, at least 5 stepped internal chucks (worth new alone the asking price...), at leat one external stepped chuck, a box labelled external jaws, a scriber stand, several tools, two morse? taper sleeves.... that is some accessories already. And all that for $800---- I 10,000 times rather take that than a Chinese 7" swing minilathe for the same money!!!


I also see in the first pic at the bottom, that blue fork, that is a knee switch. It has three positions, forward-stop-reverse. I used to learn turning on such a lathe in the late 60' early 70's (back then in Switzerland these Schaublins were already considered as old junk, long ago removed from production and donated to the apprentices school). It must be over 40 years since I last used such a knee switch. It was a very handy thing. You do not see that on new lathes anymore. Here some pics I found on the net from such a Schaublin 120-TO showing that knee switch a bit better:

I am not going to bid on this, just bought a shaper.... but for those interested, some outline specs of the Schaublin 120-TO:
center height 120mm
swing over bed 240mm
spindle hole 25mm (!!)
spindle taper Schaublin W25
spindle speeds up to 2500rpm
tailstock taper 2MT
length 1300mm
width 600mm
height 1300mm

Could be arranged, I'm driving over in around 3 weeks..... bit of fuel money is always nice. Provided handover was at Port Melbourne or on the way north.

Note that I have no interest in the lathe myself, nor do I have the time or inclination to deal with the current owner except for a simple pickup. And I mean simple - if it involves me excavating it from the depths of someone's shed, I simply don't have the time available.

Dam, for the amount I've had to spend on my P.O.S 7 X 12, I could have bought one similar.

Thanks for the offer.

I spoke to the guy on Friday and he had some people coming to look at it today. It's now sold.

Despite the convenience I resisted. The lack of feed and screw cutting was the decider. One Euro drama lathe is enough for me at the moment..

Anyone interested in buying a complete workshop? Fully equipped ready to work based in Orange NSW, unfortunately he won't separate, at this stage. On Ebay, under Surface grinder in Metal working.
