The lahte linked above is one of the newer Boxfords, effectively a 12×36 chinese lathe that Boxford polished up in the UK.
I would be interested in the source you have for that.
All I can say is they must have put a hell of a lot of polish on them and imported the steel.!!! Mine dates back to the 1980's and still has no corrosion and feels better than any brand new recent import I have had my mits on.
They are also 10×20 not 12×36
Think this guy would have also mentioned it as he does so if it applies to other machines. **LINK**
