Buy a small lathe while I wait for the PM lathe to arrive??

Aaron, what's the story on the older Enco lathes?
Were they made in Germany?

Emco was made by the Swiss, Enco was Taiwan.

If all goes well, heading out around noon to get it... I posted in the What Did You Buy Today? thread, but the seller has some additional tools and metal stock available as well... will see if I can get a few more things to follow me home...

Quite the haul. Check inside the red cabinets. Could be something interesting there.

Only if I had an idea of what I am looking at... I know what some stuff is... other stuff? Clueless... I can identify height gauge, dividers, magnetic bases, arbor press, grinders, thread dies, cutters, allen wrenches, two lamps, and a lot of raw material...

And then there are many pointy thingys and whatchamacallits.

Yeah, I am curious as to what is inside the red cabinets. Will take photos...

With pics the old hands here can identify almost anything. I've seen few things that have stumped them.

Good threading dies, a big arbor press and a look at the raw material is where I would be concentrating because I have years of collecting. It's hard to know what you'll need without experience. Most of my metrology tools are previously owned. Having a way to test them with gauges before you buy is key.

Actually, on my computer they are not rendering. Have part of the tool boxes and nothing else. Chromium and Firefox, both do the same thing.
