    Default Kerry Lathe

    Spotted this of Gumtree, This example seems to have a threaded spindle nose ? I thought these Kerry lathes all have a L00 spindle mount but reading the Lathes UK write up, the threaded nose was used on earlier versions.

    This one looks a better deal - L00 nose and the tooling that comes with it . A handy design feature of these is: when power feeding the carriage, you can disengage the lead screw drive by selecting a neutral position in the QCGB and use the power feed drive shaft only .

    I've never seen one before, they looks like a decent lathe. The last Gumtree link you posted certainly looks like a much better deal, shame about the holes in the face plate.

    Looks like a good buy except this particular one has a threaded spindle nose the version with the L00 nose would be more desirable to own. Seems that the ex-tech. school examples that turn up for sale are mostly the threaded spindle type, the Education Dept. probably purchased a batch of these.
