SOLD: Sieg C3 with DRO

[danielbriggs]

Well... this week is very much bittersweet; as mentioned elsewhere I'm sadly selling my trusty Sieg C3 lathe :cry:
It has been a great little lathe, however I've bought a mint condition Boxford 160 TCL to take its place (Needs upgrading first though...!)

SO:
The C3 lathe is in great condition; VERY little usage. It has digital readouts (DRO) on both axis's and a digital spindle speed display on top. This is the metric leadscrew version, and has the cam-lock tailstock. It was bought from ArcEuroTrade not that long ago.

When it arrived I tore it down, cleaned, degreased, put-back-together, and tuned it up; until it was running very well. Since then it has had minimal usage, just the odd part or two in aluminium and brass.

Attached is a photo from a while back (apologies for the poor photo). I cleaned it up really well last weekend and moved the lathe out so will update the photos over the next few days.



What's included:

• Sieg C3 Lathe (obviously!)
• Cam-lock tailstock
• Drill chuck and arbor
• Quick-change toolpost + holders
• Several lathe tools
• Both sets of jaws for the 80mm, 3 jaw chuck
• 2x new suitable bearings should you want to upgrade the headstock
• Large custom manuals (LOADS of info in these!)
• Some odds and ends, like extra gears and what not. + Probably some other things I've forgotten. ;)

I'm based in Warrington; collection is accepted, if you're not too far I will be happy to deliver or meet at a sensible distance.
Cash on collection is preferred; but open to other sensible payment means. (And no; STAMPS not accepted! - yes, I've been genuinely asked on eBay is someone could pay for something I was selling with stamps!!! )
Anyone wanting to have a look over the machine can do before hand; totally fine with me - but I assure you, no issues with it

So; price?
I'm asking *only* £350.
Bargain if you ask me! :naughty:

Any questions, drop me a PM or give me a ring.

Ta,
Dan

You'll be sorry when this goes,Dan.

In the past I was forever buyin tools and then sellin them on when strapped for cash...never again will that happen.

Ahh... I need the space :(
Plus the CNC lathe was bought as a direct replacement. I know what you mean though; I'm sure the time will come where I think "if only I had a manual lathe; I could just jump on and turn this down a bit..."
But the CNC mill, and now this CNC lathe should be capable of most jobs :)

Dan

Just a little bump... :)
Still for sale; needs to go within 2 weeks.

Many thanks to all who have PM'd interest.
