Thumbs up Another addition for my home shop

Have a deposit down and pick it up next saturday
(screen shot of CL ad )

The lathe is 7-1/2' long and weighs about 4000 lbs

It'll go good with my other machines

Bench top mill


1-1/2 hp 17" floor drill press


smaller 1/2" drill press & 14" abrasive saw


Hobart Handler 187 mig welder


"old school" power hacksaw


Plus air compressor, grinders and plenty of tooling for the machines.




The big lathe will be replacing my 1932 Atlas 9" x 18"


Yeah, I make stuff at home.

Thanks. I've been fabbing some parts for the IH built Cub Cadets plus some Kawasaki Triple parts.

Just started making exhaust manifolds for the H1 500 & H2 750 triples for the folks that have Denco & Wirges expansion chambers

It'll be going up for sale once the Monarch is fully functional.

Awesome, as a machinist, I would love my own lathe. I've bid on a couple, but no luck.

I used a drill with a threaded rod in the chuck clamped to my work bench with a 2x4 as a tool support as a lathe yesterday. I would love my own lathe too

It was possibly somewhat dangerous

Is that Stock Saw (the one you call an automatic hacksaw) something you put together yourself?
