I purchased this machine Friday, it was supposed to be a package deal along with a smaller Clausing 15x50. However when I arrived the other machine had already be sold. I ended up purchasing this 15x60? and a Kalamazoo 13" bandsaw.
On to my issues, I can't seem to positively ID this machine or find any numbers on it that make sense.
The Bad: This thing is huge and heavy. The cover over the gears was removed some time ago, seller didn't know why.
Motor was removed and missing.
A few handles are broken off.
Threading gears look chewed up and I think I'm missing some.
This is my first lathe, I'm not scared of it just don't want to spend and arm and a leg on something not worth it.
Anyway if anyone can help with ID, I can get a manual and source parts. Thanks
