Ian look for the biggest you can fit in as the bigger lathes are a lot cheaper, you can also do small stuff on a big lathe but not the other way round.

two worth trying-
http://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/--- keep your eyes open or I check regular, possibly consider a "wanted" ad.
and ask Andrew or Barry at Bede tools, they have a Harrison in looks quite well equipped, pity its just a 9", you will need tooling-- more expense. They have a Colchester Bantam "arriving shortly" might be worth a look
http://www.bedetools.com/page48.html
I could put a wanted up on the Harrison Lathes website, there is also a Colchester site, you may need to join to post

IF you can find one some 'Education' Students were single phase. What sort of 'draw' does a converter pull though Steve (Amps)? If you want more power it surely has to go in, and the point of 3 phase is there's less with all 3 providing (Each) than 1. A lathe and mill are a must for me but deciding how big I can go for is a puzzle. Garage has armour cable but is burried and I have visions of having to re-lay that to get enough power.
Sorry to hijack this 'Wanted' in fact please answer in Tech Steve.

I may be upgrading to a bigger machine if one I have my eye on becomes available.
I have a student just now.
Not sure what your timescale is though.
Not sure Steve, I`m more up to date on the Harrisons as thats what I have and keep an eye out, sort of curiosity. Half that and it would be a bargain.
Lathes--Occasionally they go for peanuts and then all of a sudden, bang and go 1K + . There are Harrison on the bay for £1800 !!!!!!!!!!!. mine was less than a fifth of that. Direct from a University.
Two good makes that you cant go far wrong. Finding a good-un is the prob.
he may even be fixed up.
