Hi Mark,Very sweet machine Mike- Japanese made?

Thanks @mikey !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?
skates were not necessary- too bad
i'm sure they will serve a purpose soon!Just hold onto them.......I know you will be needing them soon!

i agree! that's the first time i have seen a gaurd like that on the handwheel, to be honest.Looks very stout machine . I noticed a chip/splash shield over the handwheel , what a nice feature
thanks mike!Very nice, about the perfect size machine IMHO. Enjoy. Cheers, Mike
thank you very much Ted!Congratulations Mike, those are really nice machines.

Hi Jeff, thanks brother!You putting this lathe in your home shop?
Nice lathe Mike!
Mark, I believe these are a Taiwan product.
Hi matt,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
thanks silverbullet!Sure looks in good shape. Chucks had some time on it but its a top name baby. Good luck and glad your happy with it. Everyone ive seen has been a machinin chip killer.
thank you very much Aukai, i did too as soon as i saw it.I admire that machine
