MACHINE TOOLS & Accessories WANTED
To place a Wanted Advertisement please e-mail your requirements to: adverts@lathes.co.uk


We can't promise that every “Wanted” advertisement will work as well as the following  - but you never know.

I thought you might like to know that the last of my advertisements has been very successful, as were all the others. This was a "Wanted Advert" for a Theil high-speed vertical head, It was only on your advice that it mentioned I would consider a “complete machine” and, as a result, the foreman of **** University workshop (who was viewing your site, looking for a woodturning lathe) spotted my ad and contacted me. His workshop capacity was being reduced and I am now the proud owner of a fully equipped Thiel 158 with the rare high-speed head, all the collets, universal table and special Theil circular table - all resplendent in unmarked original paint. The university decided to keep the dividing head but I couldn't grumble as everything was offered for just £100. I didn't negotiate! There was even a handbook, spares catalogue and original test certificates.

So your site definitely works for both Sales and Wants - and in my case knocks E-bay out of sight. Thank you for an excellent service, Regards,  Dave Quatermain.
