I just recently purchased a large horizontal boring mill and I need shop space. I bought this American tool works lathe with a lot of other misc items I wanted. I had the intentions of restoring this lathe but those plans have been cancelled.
I don't want to scrap this lathe. The spindle bearings are "sticky", the compound is trashed, its missing a tooth off the cone gear. Does anyone want a project lathe? If not I'm gonna take the legs, tags and the tail stock. And the rest is getting scrapped. Also if anyone needs any of the parts off it. Mid February it's getting scrapped....which kills me.
