After four other lathes i finally was able to nab one of the few i identified early on as a good all around machine, Machine was bought new by previous owner and came with all original accessories(Steady and follow rests, original paperwork, tool box with change gears, 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks, ect., ect.) Alas, no stand. Thats the good. The bad is it has two different areas on bed that are damaged/modded by happen chance. I do not believe they effect operation, but should know shortly. Also came with some nice goodies. Phase I toolpost and holders, camalloy bits, a few Seka boring bars and inserts, and more than a dozen unused 5c collets, and homemade tools and tooling.
One such items is a cross slide vise for notching tube and pipe.
The photo is from the sellers post. I will be following up with other photos along with assessment and repairs.
The tail stock quill lock does not work, nor does the reversing function. I will be testing all lead screw and nuts, spindle and tail stock alignment, and all operating functions in the weeks to come.
I will also scan in the paperwork and documents i received as the others available are not of very good quality.
Not the prettiest or best preserved, but hope will be serviceable and serve my purposes.
