You sir, truly suckI got her home yesterday. Gave her a quick and dirty cleaning while she was on the trailer. It revealed a sticker near tailstock that she has the induction hardened ways. That was an additional cost option from the factory. I still need to level it and inspect the wiring. One of the previous owners wired in a welding plug. The lathe comes with a coolant pump but doesn't look as though it has worked in a long time. I'm glad all else works and I can get to using it. I might tackle the coolant component at some point but I doubt I'll use it. All the chips I cleaned out of it were aluminum - I'm stoked with this setup. Now I have to put my SB 9A up for sale. I sure hate having to sell it, but I won't need it and for sure don't have the room for it. I kept my Shoptask 1720 3-in-1 for small stuff because it's on wheels and doesn't take up too much space.
The purchase came with a bunch tools, holders and things I don't recognize. A lot of it isn't for this lathe. If you recognize the things in the metal box, I'd like to know what they are. It appears incomplete. the 5 machined pieces are stamped 1-5 on their tops. I'll go through everything next weekend - these are just overalls of the haul. I compressed the pictures for web using Publisher - let me know if it helps with the 'pictures are too large" issue. It reduced the resolution more than I liked, but you get the gist.
