That's strange its not unavailable when I go to Axminster's site I even got one in the basket, It may be worth a call to them to find out why, I hope that they aren't breaking European competitions rules!!

I have both VL 300 and VL 100
The VL 300 came with a 1 metre extension that I have only used once, too long for my shed.
I have plans to make a swing away tail stock.

Not sure now but a couple years ago it was cheaper to buy a VL 300 in the UK that it was in Aust.

Well !
After careful consideration, I prefer Bezombes.:love_it:
it is this lathe that will accompany me over the next few years. :)
a big investment, which I now look forward to.
this will be my fourth round.
the first one was in Chinese which I got my hands on.
the second a used Vivamac db800 without variator that I did not like (lack of precision)
the third for 12 years a VL100 BM that I equipped with a motor and variator, model acquired before Vicmarc subcontracting of Vicmarc in Taiwan .... too bad.
And let's go for a new adventure: cheer: with the Bezombes.:thumbs:
It is ordered,:banana::banana::banana: two months for the manufacture, it will be necessary to be patient

I hope it hasn't always been:wink:
but there, no surprise, it is the best.:banana::banana::banana:
You have to wait two months for the production, and after that, happiness!:fingers:
I will send you pictures.:camera:
