This lathe was purchased in May, 2005 from a local machine shop. It
included a lever-type 5C collet setup with some collets, a standard tailstock, a
bed turret, a standard cross slide, a screw-fed production cross slide and
turret tooling, but not much else in the way of the more standard tooling like
3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks.
The lathe at the seller's shop.
Delivery and unloading - a local rigger picked it up and delivered for $200 with
the understanding that I would make myself available to accept delivery whenever
they had another delivery in my area. They wanted another $900 to move it
to the basement shop. That was over my budget, so the lathe was
disassembled into components, moved in pieces to the basement with a
refrigerator dolly and re-assembled.
The lathe torn down to the bed in the garage, the path from the garage to the
basement, and the lathe partially re-assembled in the basement.
The lathe as it is exists today (October 2005). A significant amount of
tooling has been added, including 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, steady/follower rests,
Trav-a-dial on the longitudinal axis, Jacobs Rubberflex and Burnerd collet
chucks, faceplates, Aloris quick change tool post and holders and a bunch of
other stuff.
Some photos of the Trav-a-dial installed on the lathe and the mounting bracket
made of plate aluminum for it.
