Very nice and informative video! Thank you great work!

Great video!

My personal opinion is these machines become very addictive, I cryed my eyes when Raleigh Industries UK closed down a long time ago.

You're right about becoming addicted. Many years ago I was a patrol inspector in a components factory in Tonbridge. I used to go in on Friday nights and run the back row of around 12 machines while Foxy ran the front row. I loved it. I have a cnc machine nowadays set up as a single spindle bar auto making Matchless and BSA spare parts. I'd love to set up an auto-shop full of Wickmans...

Wickman are tough machines my dad worked on them for 34 years in that time they had very little maintenance and the actual machines were auto chuckers ( not bar feed ) from around the Second world war period.

Going to say there were no Wickmans back then?

Sir according to me Gildemeister screw machine is The best machine in the world

Nice job on the video!!! Will make a great training tool for comparison.

Looks nice have been a brownie index cva and Davenport man ...sadly dieing out....

There are threading and reaming cams in the wick and you will do some cranking to get them in and out,i would take a wick over any other multi.

I would take a acme with worn out bushings over a wickman any day

What is the purchase cost of this 25.mm bar capacity machine.

I like it

I work at wickmans
