I found a lathe that could potentially be perfect for making the blowpipes I'll be using for glassblowing, as well as the other tools I need. It has been described to me as a Morey Number 3 Turret with adjustable auto feed. Seller says it has four foot long ways and that I can work a 16" wide piece. This thing is really big, much bigger than I was looking into, but the price is right and bigger is probably smarter because I'll probably need longer blowpipes and Pontils than I'm anticipating. The plan is to visit the machine sometime this week.
Can you guys give me an idea of what I'm really looking at here? Again, I'm a newborn machinist, so even inane info is helpful.
The machine comes with 2 chucks, a bunch of collets, and other tooling/accessories.
