Found locally MSC 951735 Lathe, 13x40. Retired man decided to sell his lathe. I when today to check it out because I am in search one for myself. It is made in Taiwan, was bought new from MSC around 10 years ago. It was not used all that much. The guy just occasionally made small parts, mostly cutting some not widely available threads. The lathe really does not show much use, minimal. It runs without quirks, feeds and threading works as they should. It's 3 phase motor which he runs out of static phase convertor (included).
As for tooling, just standard set. 6" 3 jaw chuck, 8" 4 jaw chuck (with surface rust), some US made drill chuck, couple dead centers, face plate and steady/follow rests, some cutters and insert holders. Manual and gears. No QCTP.
He asks $2800 and stays firm on the price, I may to try to knock off couple hundered, but that does not make big change. Do you think its worth to buy? Any opinion/experience with such lathe?
Oh, and some pics I made during visit. They are random and in a hurry, but anyway.
