{"product_id":"tyzack-lathe-for-restoration-stock-code-2539","title":"Tyzack lathe for restoration","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere have been loads of companies built small model engineer's  lathes in the last seventy years, most were fairly forgettable designs whose  passing was rarely mourned. One of the more successfull products, which at one  time seemed to get almost as much \"air time\" in the Model Engineer as  Drummond and the other big players was Tyzack. They had a name for good design,  although expensive to produce (and, hence, buy).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIt's a shame when such a tool gets into a condition like this.  However, underneath the (fairly light) rust and filth, there is a decent  machine, free of bodgery and broken castings. It's a back-geared, screwcutting  machine, just over 3 inches centre height and about 16 inches between centres,  it has a top slide for taper turning. There is a layshaft and single phase motor  with it - the motor looks ancient and would need to be checked before use.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA worthwhile restoration project, it would give a boy a good  start in model engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eI have advertised this before and had several enquiries, most  of which have foundered on weight and shipping. I would prefer collection - it  weighs about a hundredweight and a half - but at a push it could be strapped up  on a pallet or in a crate. However, shipping is likely to cost at least as much  as the lathe itself.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020128637269,"sku":"2539","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2539-1.webp?v=1779910904","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/tyzack-lathe-for-restoration-stock-code-2539","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
