Before knowing that this was available, I was going to order the MLA-5 kit and adapt it to this lathe...

Well, that's another supplier of kits to add to my list. Thank you. :encourage:

You also have Hemmingway Kits closer to you. I like those as well and have a few pending to build.

I have purchased plans from Hemingway and built the items using subtractive manufacturing, in the US its cheaper that way.

Hemmingway are the first on that list!

I'm a global sort of fella and regret the UK is isolated a bit now from our continental friends (as odd as they sometimes can be :grin:

) but I can't help but come over a bit 'John Bull' when I see traditional English 'model engineering' type stuff still being sold.
