Hi all ..Just started a conversion on a late model Boxford TUD lathe ..(bought 2-3 years ago) I chose this lathe specifically because it is as standard a simple lathe , No powered feeds or gearbox .. Any way I am a Boiler engineer by trade ( Power stations , large plant ) I have been fully coded , vast fabrication and welding history .. structural , plant and conveyor design and generally a good allrounder . I suppose one of those people that can be good at anything .. listing my attributes would be a little boring and seemingly boastful which I am not . Well I have started on this forum to offer my experience and knowledge (possibly hands on time ) has I have sort of kicked back a little ,, And hopefully gain a little more knowledge from other members ..

A friend recently said a good line that seems fitting Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted..

If I can I will , If I can't its expensive..
