bryanc Posted May 25, 2017 #1 Posted May 25, 2017 Proxxon DB250 with three jaw chuck No longer required as I have gone to the dark side (plastic kits!), in excellent working order, complete in the box it came in with manual etc. The 3 jaw chuck was purchased later (about £30.00) and makes life so much easier. One of the two chuck keys was lost early on, but anything will serve, I used a small screwdriver. I haven't actually costed the postal price, as I'm lazy (it'll be about a tenner - in the UK) and hoping the purchaser might want to pick it up (UK - SK17 6DU). On Amazon currently it costs £136.00 and the chuck £41.00. Both yours for £90.00 plus postage How can you not want it!

wefalck Posted May 26, 2017 #4 Posted May 26, 2017 What about e.g. (machine)gun barrels ? There are dozens, if not hundreds of parts that are round and will come out much crisper, when actually machined. I wouldn't be able to live without a lathe (anymore) regardless what kind of models I would build ... Canute 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
Bob Blarney Posted May 26, 2017 #5 Posted May 26, 2017 It seems unnatural to sell a perfectly good tool, unless you have three of it. Canute 1 Quote
