Emco lathes

by EVguru

The manual lathes appear to be Emco Compact 8s. They look similar to the Tiwanese/Chinese 9 x 18 machines because those were copied from the Emco, often including all the bad features like no tumbler reverse, no camlock for the tailstock and a too high (100rpm) lowest speed.

They were very well made and could be worth a punt at the right price.

Denford machine tools bought in kits of parts from Emco to build the Orac CNC training lathe.
