I bought this machine about 1 yr. ago and just got the phase converter built and now have it running.
It came with a lot of tooling and a hardinge dividing head 2 sets of 5c collets 2- 3jaw chucks and 2- 4 jaw chucks
It has a radius turning attachment and taper attachment
and then some, this score topped all costing under $2300
Well this one definitely deserves a

Thanks Ed
That day was crazy I was only looking for some 5c collets
and like a kick in the butt here is this lathe .
believe me when I tell you I wasted no time paying the man and moving this one home.
I rented a fork lift and drove it down a two lane highway to pull off the move, my buddy said I was crazy and I'm cool with that.
what would the cops do anyway take me to jail
When something like this deal happens you stop at nothing a get it done. ( no guts no glory)

Where did you find a 50 MPH fork lift?
Just in case I find a grab and run Hardinge.
RE: Let's See Your Lathe - carkrazd - 07-28-2013
I could not get her to 50
it was slowmo all the way people just had to wait sorry.

I have moved all of my machines myself.
I work as a Journeyman Mechanic for a mine.
These moves are small compared to some I have done.
The forklift on the highway thing was funny ,you just have to want something really bad as I said (No Guts No Glory)

Well I have a bunch of old lathes, one that stretches the modern definition is this one

It's a threading lathe from around 1872-1888 new stuff the those English blokes!

Wow, those are old. Are you the original owner?
I like the one for threading bolts.

between me and the previous owner we have 50 years of ownership, not sure about the other 100 or so years. If you didn't have steam or a water wheel this would be your baby! You want a work out? forge some bolts and thread them!
