Victor 2040 Lathe

[Ulma Doctor]

I picked up my Victor 2040 yesterday
the move was easier that i could have ever expected, i had forklifts on both the pick up and at my shop at work.
the specifications are attached

the lathe came without many accessories, but it does have a 12" 3J Buck Set true chuck and a DRO

i'll call her Monday, because i got her on a Tuesday
here are pictures

i'll be leveling and setting up this week.
i'm also waiting for some tooling to arrive as well, so i can put her to work!

this is one Monday, I'll love to work!!!

thanks for reading!

Looks very stout machine . I noticed a chip/splash shield over the handwheel , what a nice feature

Mark, I believe these are a Taiwan product.

dayum, that's a lathe and a half. It's interesting how the proportions look so similar to smaller lathes (12x36 for example) that it does look big until you realise that's a 12" chuck!

that'll really speed up the bigger work, that's for sure

Congrats, Mike! Looks to be in great shape.

If that is a 12" chuck then that lathe must be huge!

So, did those skates work?
