I Can’t believe that someone did this ... What’s wrong with this picture??

I am sure someone thought they created a really nice tool.

Ok...I know as much about lathes as I know about women...is this really how you want to pick one up?

 

[Janderso]

I am going to assume the person selling it is not the operator.

 

[benmychree]

Is that a bicycle lock, or what?

 

[ddickey]

Included is a specially fabricated lifting device . LOL

Got to hand it to the guy. There's no pressure on the lead screw.

I hope whoever buys it has enough sense to say no, thank you to the lifting device. The human anatomical equivalent to being lifted by that point is not a pretty thought.

I do not think it would dawn on the guy he was not going to get an even lift, He should have wrapped another sling around, behind the tailstock handwheel So had he bent the mandrel, He would have also bent the tailstock, "Buy One Get One Free"

I usually suspend mine by the lead screw.
