Many thanks for the work you did on preparing the ad for my father's lathe. You are worth every penny of what you charge, and you can't often say that these days. I had 3 inquiries in a very short time after the ad appeared, and it finally went to a lovely Irish gentleman who came and picked it up and took it to Dublin.
I also had a very serious inquiry from a West End production company who badly wanted it as a prop on stage in a soon to be seen production of Faust. However, my Irishman bought it first. Again many thanks for such a good job. Over 20 enquiries, and sold immediately without any hassle ! Mike

I want to thank you for all the help you have given me. I could not have sold my machine without your excellent advice. Terence: Thanks, Tony Inundated with enquiries. This has to be the best way to sell equipment; I'll be recommending your site to others who want to sell machinery. Steve : After many enquiries including the USA and Canada I sold the Myford for the asking price: Thanks for your help - I will certainly use your site in the future. Alan   I purchased the 6" lathe in the USA from your sales page. Thanks for the site. I could not find anything in the US or anywhere else as good. R. Wren : I received 3 phone calls and the Colchester was sold last night to the first person to view for the full asking price. Jon. Found a very rare Boxford part thanks to your “Wanted Section” ! : Thank you for identifying all the parts and listing them. A wonderful service. Janet : Let me take this opportunity to thank you for all your expert help in compiling the adverts, etc. and in making the selling experience so pleasurable and trouble free!

SOLD: Cowells miniature precision milling machine with many extras and a number of useful refinements: original pulleys replaced by others to suit a stronger and smaller type of belting resulting in a much more quiet (and stronger) machine.  Micrometer dials added to the handwheels ; the dials can be turned ( and thus set to zero) independent from the handwheels.  A strong spring for the quill down-feed, eliminating backlash. Provision for stop screws left and right on the top slide.  Original control board replaced by a Lenze ( a top quality German brand).The accessories include :

Cowells collets 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 mm. Cowells drill chucks 0-4 mm and 0-8 mm. An improved Cowells machine vice and Cowells angle plate. Professionally-made dividing attachment including 9 Swiss Aciera division plates 50-59-60-62-72-90-96-110-180.  A number of professionally (much finer than Cowells) made items: boring arbor; saw arbor to suit saws with different hole sizes; cutter arbor for 7 mm hole cutters ( like Thornton) and a very fine miniature dividing table (useful for e.g. crossing out wheels).

One grub screw needs to be replaced; there is some play in the spindle of the dividing attachment (thus far compensated by a brass strip between spindle and the body), and the top slide shows up a few minor marks which do not interfere with the accuracy of the machine.

Price 1750 GBP. Note : new price at the moment 2600 GBP without the important accessories mentioned under (d) and (e). The machine is in the Netherlands but at an extra cost (150 GBP) I am happy to bring it across the Channel (or elsewhere in Europe within 600 km from my place) Pictures of the Cowells miller for sale here and details of Cowells machines here

Machine Tools & Accessories
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 Thiel 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 Thiel 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 the 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.

 

 

A note of caution when you are running a “Wanted” advertisement – scammers are everywhere. If you are offered machines or parts and the seller cannot send photographs (typically, they claim their ISP is playing up) or want
paying by “Western Union” transfer (never send money this way to buy anything) it’s definitely a scam, If in doubt, please refer their reply to me: tony@lathes.co.uk
