After meditating on the subject, I decided to purchase this lathe for sale in my area. It looks to be of the same design as the Jet/Grizzly/Enco 12x36 lathe if I'm correct? It is an older version with a belt driven head rather than geared.
Moving it was a snap, I rented a hydraulic drop deck trailer from a local rental house, and the seller owned a skid steer, and already had the lathe inside the bucket when I showed up. He was able to drive right into the trailer and we walked it out of the bucket. Highly recommend this style of trailer for anyone else moving heavy machine tools, with the aid of a couple dollies and my engine hoist I was able to unload it by myself.
Does anyone know of a place to get a manual for this or one of the similar rebranded machines? I'm not sure what model numbers cross over. Unfortunately the information tag on the back of the headstock is damaged so I'm missing a few specifics on it.
I also have a few other questions that I will be posting to this thread as I gather pictures, as well as trying to post some updates because it appeared that info on Shenwai branded machines was scarce when I was investigating.
