New Linley Jig Bore group

Hey Guys,

I have mentioned here that I had picked up a Linley Jig Bore in the spring, and have finally gotten around to starting the restoration. Since there is not much information on these great little machines, I thought I would start a Yahoo Group.

If you have one of these machines, or or interested in them, you can check it out here:

Thanks, Kurt

I finally finished the restoration of my Linley and got it down into my shop. I still need to make thumb screws for the X and Y axes and probably a belt guard, but I am happy with it. My brother-in-law gave me the Bridgeport #2 boring head, so that was a bonus!

Below are some pictures, and I also updated pictures of my shop at:

Very nice. I had heard that they had built a benchtop model, but I've never seen one. They were built no too far frommy house.

You should send some pictures to Tony Griffith at lathes.co.uk (tony@lathes.co.uk).

He will definitely be interested in pictures to add to his web site.
