SIP MP-1H (Société Genevoise d'Instruments de Physique Switzerland). This is
the smallest of the conventional SIP high-precision jig borers and intended for
smaller work of the most accurate kind. Equipped with a Sony 2-axis digital
readout with calibrations down to 0.001 mm - the original optical measuring
system is still in place and works perfectly with all bulbs and scales intact.
When new the makers guaranteed an "accuracy displacement" of
0.00008" (0.002 mm) - though the fine-feed handwheel is able to increment
consistently, and with great sensitivity, to within 0.001 mm. The machine has a
single column with a 16" x 10" (400 x 250 mm) table with a working
range of 8" (200 mm) longitudinally and 8" (200 mm) across. The table
is carried on ways relieved by spring-loaded rollers, thus ensuring both a
particularly smooth motion and an accurate, stick-free repetition of
settings. Included with the jib borer
is the original maker’s tooling set in a fitted wooden box and an 8.625"
(220 mm) SIP Rotoptic-1 Optical Circular Dividing Table with angular
settings down to 1 second of arc. Overall front-to-back measurement 50"
(1264 mm), width around 30.4" (900 mm) and weight approximately 1900 lbs
(850 kg) £1750 Pictures of the SIP jib borer for sale here

Ormerod hand-operated shaper (this is the actual Ormerod shaper shown
here)
Since building the planing machine my Ormerod hand operated shaper has been
little used - and is now for sale. It has an excellent capacity for a hand
shaper, with 11 inches of ram travel, 9 inches of cross feed and takes work 6
inches deep beneath the cutting tool. The box table has 3 Tee slots in the top
face and ratchet-driven automatic cross feed. So that keyways can be cut in
long shafts the shaper has a hole through the main body in line with the ram.
The box clapper takes up to 9/16" tooling and the operating lever has a
number of different positions for optimum operation, and is easily removed for
transport. Weight around 120 lb - but
with the ram removed it can be lifted by one strong man and will fit
comfortably into the boot of most cars. It can be collected from just south of
Birmingham, or by arrangement, I could deliver within a 50 mile radius. £350

which I still have and which is included.

auto turret tool changer, a pneumatic chuck, a standard chuck and some tooling.
260 VMC: This is in standard
configuration with all the Boxford quick-change tooling and a carousel tool
holder plus its original base unit (the base unit is not shown in the photo )

SOLD: Holbrook Model B No.8
Lathe. 4" x 20”, backgeared with screwcutting gearbox, power sliding and
surfacing feeds, automatic micro-adjustable disengage of the power sliding feed
and taper turning.
This is a magnificent, not
to say museum quality example of these superb lathes and is in virtually
pristine, original condition. Built to very exacting standards, more
information can be found here (the lathe is actually featured in that section,
the grey one). Since acquiring it a few years ago (at which time I was told it
had been bought new around 1937 and used solely for clockmaking/instrument
work), I have used it little—and then only for delicate work and that little
showed what a lovely machine it is. On health grounds I now need to downsize
and it sadly has to go. Apart from a headstock bearing oiler system I fitted
it’s as originally supplied, complete on the maker’s stand with new switchgear;
two-speed gearbox and powered by a single-phase motor driving the built-on
overhead countershaft. As part of the original equipment there is a separately
motorised overhead drive for precision grinding spindle and other accessories.
Accessories include: 2 chuck backplates; 3 and 4 jaw chucks (not fitted – as it
came like that with both the previous
user and myself preferring to use the range of collets included); drive
plate/catch plate; T-slotted faceplate; taper-turning attachment; a
lever-operated tailstock in addition to the standard screw variety; original
collet and accessory stand (to which I added a second tier). I also fitted it
with a quick-change toolpost. Although compact this is a heavy machine – the
lathe alone is around 200 Kg and the cast
iron stand with motor, gearbox, overhead drive gear, etc., probably add another
600Kg. The top face of the stand is finished like a surface plate! Definitely
not a lathe for the spare bedroom. £2500

SOLD: Leinen L4Z 3.5” x 16”
precision backgeared and screwcutting lathe with tumble-reverse, a single-lever
operated helical-gear backgear drive and a most useful auto knock-off to the
carriage feed. Mounted on a sturdy 5-drawer steel cabinet with a solid drip
tray. The drive comes from the original flat belt countershaft driven by a
3-phase motor from a high-torque variable speed 1-phase to 3-phase inverter. With the lathe is a full set of
screwcutting changewheels, a 3-jaw chuck with both sets of jaws, a good
selection 15 mm shank collets. Since I
had the bed reground and rebuilt it, the lathe is unused (I've bought a bigger
machine and already have three other smaller lathes). This a very strong and ,
beautifully made lathe. £695 Pictures

SOLD: Holbrook “Edgar” 5
inch x 21 inch backgeared and screwcutting lathe with swing bed and a built-on
overhead countershaft unit.
As part of my exercise in
preparing to downsize for health reasons I have to let this go. It was designed
by Edgar Holbrook, hence its name, and manufactured at the Holbrook works in
London. Designed to incorporate most standard features of lathes of the period
plus a variety of novel ideas it was launched in 1923. Its high cost limited
sales which ceased in the early 1930s—hence it’s a reasonably rare machines
compared with others of similar vintage. Full details at
http://www.lathes.co.uk/edgar/ The most
interesting feature is the separate swivelling front bed that carries the
saddle and works as a built-in taper-turning attachment for long tapers ; the
headstock and tailstock are mounted on the conventional fixed bed at the rear.
The lathe has unusually large handwheels with easy-to-read micrometer
graduations engraved on the edges. The graduated leadscrew handwheel is 8
inches diameter. Since acquiring it I have slightly modified the drive and
fitted a new 3-jaw chuck but it’s otherwise as it came. All the cosmetic work
had been done and the spindle bearings are in good order. I have used it little, mainly for making
2-Morse taper tooling, but it performs well and is very rigid as might be
judged from the heavy proportions of the topslide. There is some backlash on
the feedscrews (but then so does my Myford and one learns to live with it!).
This lathe is one of few to survive complete with its overhead countershaft
supports - these are very substantial and need a headroom of 2.15 metres (7 ft)
- but that could be reduced by around 12 inches by shortening the belt and the
support columns. (it is shown temporarily standing on wooden blocks). All this
ruggedness makes it rather heavy, possibly in the region of 350 Kg. It has a
drawer built in which carries the change wheels, a brand new 3-jaw chuck,
backplate for a 4-jaw and a second backplate or catchplate; tailstock chuck.
1-phase electrics. A thoroughly useable and very interesting lathe. £550 Pictures

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

does not need both quick-set toolposts.
