mistake on my part though as its a 37 litre Rolls Royce Griffon engine extracted from a shackleton. Its had the cylinder heads ripped off it for the moment (a few years ago haha) but we have had it fired up and shiting henry its a f*cking monster! it now sitting on the back of a Scammell tractor unit.

Husky360 (Sep 1, 2011 at 10:34)

Sorry PB, but that's not a CNC lathe. It is manual lathe. See the handles on it - means you turn it by hand. Not by Computer Numerical Control.
What can they custom build? "Pretty much anything you need" - Ha ha, as long as it needs to be round.

5 1

Icculus19425 (Sep 1, 2011 at 10:42)

Then what is that Giant Computer doing attached to it?

5 0

decoverley (Sep 1, 2011 at 10:47)

All the CNC lathes I've operated have manual controls. They allow you to bring stock down to a convinient size before you run your program, or do quick part offs. That looks like a CNC lathe to me.

2 0

winko (Sep 1, 2011 at 10:47)

Well, since everything in your fork and shock is round there should not be any problems

maximumattack (Sep 1, 2011 at 10:52)

Its not CNC...its just a digital readout for precise manual control.

As a Toolmaker / machinist, i can tell you its not a CNC.

Also as a former Tool and Die maker, that's a manual lathe, not a CNC lathe.

IanHylands (Sep 1, 2011 at 11:55)

Sorry guys, I normally just run with the captions I'm given by the photographers. I should have taken a closer look, but if I change it now all your comments will seem pointless. So let it be said that it's a really nice manual lathe with a variable speed motor. There's a link above if you want to know exactly what it is.

ctd07 (Sep 2, 2011 at 2:17)

haha 'Husky 360', I thought the exact same thing - you can make anything you want... as long as its round - but most suspension internals are round anyway so it probably has its uses, a pillar drill would probably be more useful though! haha
