Re: Lathe
Little Emco Unimat lathe is it not? Very handy for light work, mostly sold to model makers. 
Cracking little Myford, lovely condition and about the right size for most `bike` work:

Re: Lathe
Very nice, can't justify it on price or likely use however.
The little lathe will be fine, though I don't suppose I will see much blue swarf curling off it or much coolant steam.
One thing I miss about the last job was it had a full equipped machine shop that non of "the engineers" could use, excepting yours truly!
Did all the machining for the R1 fork conversion in there and a raft of other stuff - was nice to have the facility.
Sadly my new workplace sold their machinary including a full functioning harrison for £1 to a member of staff.
