Another bargain lathe - Tony Griffiths - 04-08-2023

If you have the time and transport, here is another absolute bargain of a lathe. Although a very low price, I know that the owner will take offers so it could well go for rather less: https://store.lathes.co.uk/adverts/for-sale/churchill-mk-3a-cub-lathe

A stunningly good deal
A workshop is incomplete without a lathe

Looks like it has a gap bed so not many parts of an A7 that will not fit in it. Very reasonably priced when compared to other machines of similar size too.

These lathes have always been a puzzle. Some sell for £600 to £800 when in good order and well equipped while others struggle to sell at all. It's been like that for 45 years. See: http://lathes.co.uk/churchillcub/
