Whilst helping a friend clear out his Grandads house and workshop, I was shown this piece of board and asked if it was anything I knew about. It...
Should have said, the machine is in Derby, UK.
Could anyone help find a home for a very large, very old machine tool? It is a Webster Bennett Vertical boring lathe, 48" dia table, from the...
