New Tool

This is my new Lathe. For me this is the Holy Grail of tools to own. With this I can make highly accurate cylindrical models and parts (Like Scale Model Rockets!). The sky is literally the limit. I heard it said that a Lathe is the only tool that can reproduce itself. It was a task to get it into my basement but here it sits. I gace it a quick test run with a piece of hardwood Dowel. This machine has ans 8" swing over the bed with 18" between centres. This lathe was aquired by the sale of something I was not using. I now own something I can and wll use very much!

 

Peace.
