My first lathe is the last to go. Binns and Berry

I'm still able to make videos from where I work now. stay tuned to see what happens with this lathe.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

The last of the chickens to leave the roost !!! I hope you had a couple of John Smith's as it went down the road ! I nearly picked up a Binns & Berry the next size down a while back but had to pass on it as my new shop was not complete so i would have had to pay double the crane hire to keep it in storage . I am off to the pub for lunch & a couple of coldies ! Cheers .

TOOLTEK, take that sign with you David. Your youtubes are going to be in the web for a long time.

[@derekhead5574]

I worked a Binns and Berry cnc centre lathe a few years ago,750 mm chuck 4 jaw 19 foot long bed.The biggest job I had on it was a drum for a printing works the shaft was 6" dia the drum itself was about 600 mm dia and the whole lot weighed three quarters of a ton. Turned it at 350 rpm and time taken to skim over it was 45 mins each cut.I had to clock it true m/c shop foreman didn't know it could be done. I left the company and got a job as a toolmaker working on injection moulding quite a change in sizes

[@samuelaylmore9281]

Sorry to see ya had to sell up. As an apprentice getting into this industry, its great to see what you do. Hopefully you can keep making the videos.

[@greasydot]

Kinda sad Dave. That ole girl wanted to stay. She gave up one hell of fight. I'll raise my Miller High Life to you and her from Texas.

[@justmakeit2616]

Love our videos. Must be hard to see to sell al of our hard work and memorys. I spoke a neighbour of mine and he is going to do the same as u dit. Clean up hes whole workshop. For him its because of his age and dont want that if he dies everything he worked for would would turned in scrap. Wish the best. Hard to see how the Lorry moves the lathe not the best way

[@victoryfirst2878]

Such a sad sight to see the large lathe go. Hope you can get over the loss of this old gensen. Good day too. VF

What a beauty and hope she goes to a good home to be put to good use. Strongs David. ( Cape Town expression, have strength.)

[@levitated-pit]

what an absolute loss! .... some memories going with it eh?

[@sjlogging2417]

That must have been a big investment when you first got it . I remember mine it tuck all my money and now l'm on my 127th machine , but still hold my first above the rest. Stephen

[@WilliamPayneNZ]

What brand was that big green lathe with the massive spindle bore that was by the door?

[@userwl2850]

DENHAM made in Halifax England. 100 years ago

[@WilliamPayneNZ]

I can only imagine this is a hard question, but why did you have to sell all your stuff? you appeared to be pretty busy.

Hello Dave. Is this one going to a shop or for scrap? The way he was banging it around I thought maybe scrap. Ken

[@m.sankararameswaran5239]

These Lathe machines are outdated so it'd be scrapped

Do you sell the machine to another workshop or does it go to a smelter ??

must be hard to see it go

[@emilgabor88]

Nice size lathe... sad to se you let it go...

[@MrButtonpusher]

So what next David, are you getting new machines?

[@TheEvertw]

It must have hurt to see it dragged across the concrete like that...

[@robertlewis4666]

That "rigger" should get a swift kick up the arse!

[@clankiesc]

Hi Dave would a DSG 13x30 make a good small workshop lathe ?

[@davidcolwill860]

Yes! I have one and I should know. I'm now two thirds of the way to being an engineer (ownership of a DS&G counts as 1/3, drinking Yorkshire tea counts as another). Sadly I don't like John Smiths so I'm f****d.

[@_MadFox]

Did you buy your own home lathe? О_о

[@31415geon]

Hopefully the lathe is going to a machine shop just like the others, it would be a shame to see such big iron go into the smelter.

[@montaguable]

As much of a shame it is that machines like that end up going to the smelter I cant believe a machine going to another shop would be handled like that. Chains over the slides , dragging along the concrete by the headstock. Can't be , I won't believe it!

[@31415geon]

@@montaguable yeah the technique of the rigging fellas looks horrible, then people complain about clapped out old iron. Significant wear comes from abuse, not from use, I guess.

[@Donkusdelux]

@@montaguable ive saw them handled worse then that going to a shop. usually they are cut up before sent for scrap so they are easier to load and move

[@montaguable]

@@Donkusdelux We move some machines from time to time but mainly only real big stuff.An acquaintance who parks his two rigging trucks at our yard does all sorts every week and I deal with machine movers all the time. Never have I seen anything like this on a machine meant to work again. Even from the rough operators and we operate in Southern Africa. All my customers would kick you up the butt in a millisecond , if we handled their machines like that.

[@Donkusdelux]

@@montaguable I have moved allot of these machines, when they go for scrap they get parted out, then grabbed by an excavator and tossed around/broke up. sliding them doesnt hurt these, we see them slid around regularly, Maybe David can clarify.
