Thanks for your replies.
I've just looked on Amadeal's site and found the lathe (
http://www.amadeal.co.uk/cj18.htm) but can't see any mention about the oil system. Am I looking at the right model ? I will have a look into these more but from the specs they seem better than the C3 for about the same price.
Only things about that lathe are:
1) Can the Cam-lock tailstock from the C3 be used on the CJ18 ?
2) How is the mount for the chuck different ? Can chucks from the C2/C3 be made to fit it ?
3) Amadeal lists the size as 200/300/350mm, is this lathe a 7x14 (350mm) or is there an option when buying ? (And if it's an option, do you know if they are the same price ?)
4) Is is supplied as metric ?
Regarding the mill: I cannot find that mill on Amadeal, do you meant he XJ12 ? (

I'll have a look into the mill also, although the mill will come later on - Some time in august when I get some more money.
Oh yes, a question I forgot to ask.
I'm going to build a workbench at a nice height for both the mill and the lathe - Only I'm not a machinist so I don't know what "a nice height" is.
Can anyone suggest what height is optimal for a lathe (Height of the centerline) and for a mill (Height of the table ?) from the floor ?
Cheers.
