Here we have my brilliant Wivamac DB1200 which must go.
6 years ago I would quite happily retire to my 30' x 12' workshop and play for hours. We then got planning permission to pull down two barns and replace them with a new house. All went well but I was only allowed to build a small workshop, about a third of the original size. All the big machinery had to go and, as the opportunity has arisen I will now downsize by selling my two lathes and replace them with a Mystro.
I bought the Wivamac from Pete Hemsley in 2010 I believe. It had moderate hobby use until 2016 when I had to put it into storage and concentrate on the new-build. Last summer I set it up but have only found the time for one job since as snagging took preference (cheaper than a divorce).
Whilst stripped down, although not necessary, I took the opportunity of replacing the bearings in case the looming Brexit removed access to Willy Vanhoutte in Belgium (it turns out that they are readily availabe here anyway!!).
It has the 3HP motor, the bowl attachment stand and a DIY bolt-on toolpost which allows for a much greater swing (still WIP but usable in its current form). There is also a back plate for an Axminster Super Precision Chuck and extra toolrests for turning inside large bowls. I understand that £1500 would be a reasonable price.
Any questions, please ask, we are near Heathfield in East Sussex - TN21 which is about an hour south of M25 Dartford Tunnel.
Regards
Pete
