[Lathe] Samson Lht-25b Turret Lathe

Mike, I told you before that you are running out of fingers for counting your lathes. Pretty soon you will need to take off your shoes to count them all. I think there is a seven step program for that...

I finally figured out the collet closer, the PO had some stuff assembled in the wrong order.
it's fully functional and ready to rock and roll :pickaxe:!!!!!
 
here's a video of the lathe in action!

i made 2 bushings in less than 40 seconds!

thanks for reading and watching!:D
 
Thank you very much!
she has paid for herself 4 times over already :grin:
 
well i'm back with a new look for the lathe,
a VFD conversion with a Omron 3G3XV inverter, so i can run the 3 phase motor on single phase power
here is the video after the install and initial parameter settings

as always thanks for reading and watching!
 
Sorry I missed the start of the thread.
This inspires me to to work toward figuring out my 1930s Gisholt #5 ram turret.
Thanks for the kick in the pants!!
