Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit.

Pulled off the saddle this week.

Such a beautiful machine! After goofing around with one of those chinese mini lathes one can really appreciate the quality of this Schaublin.

It really is nicely made. Especially the castings. I think I might do some special coverage of Schaublin castings.

contraves(csr) is still alive, this was one of germanys top servo controller and motors company in the 80/90.
The old workmen founded a new company.

Is that a D1-4 nose? (Or D1-3?).

I am putting in an order at the iron foundry for the body casting for this

a360.co/3fjEnJs

A mill-table or rotary-table adaptor mount for D1-4 lathe chucks. I have made the central bore small enough that machining for D1-3 is possible too.

I have a couple of orders from the Holbrook list. I expect the raw casting to be about £35 based on previous experience with the foundry.

Any takers?
