update on 10" and some info on 9 x42"
Regarding the 9 inch and comparing it to the Heavy 10 SB update . The 10x24 is 220V single phase so that ends that most likely will run @ 1400-1700 Rms max
The fella with the 9" wrote me back sent these pics .I called about 1/2 Hr awaiting a return call to get more details his wife said they had it 10 years of course bought it from al ole machinist .
what can you say about this model without serial # the tag says 9 x 3' 6" bed (42") from some quick research it looks to be maybe the Model 9-inch "Workshop Lathe and the 9-inch or the "Workshop" Precision Lathe. Do you think its the later #405 Model ? From more reading it may be the beefed up model the Gap Bed Model C after 1962 d .lol. which originaly sold for $245 Not 100% on this but suspect it may be this model???
I can get it for $1000 or less as seen in pics not sure if he has collet closer but seems to have tooling for it . Dont think it has a 4 jaw chuck Bc don't see in the pics
what years do ya think it is ? what type of head bearings does it have ?
should I stray away from it lean towards the heavy ten and or is there something better I should be looking at this size rigidly that perhaps may be able to get more Rpms out of ? some reason they caught my eye . the one guys 15 min away .
Sorry for all the Q's , I now im a PIA
Thanks so much for all your help I wanted to get a Lathe today but will wait on it to get the right one. Im a gona be patient and respect all your suggestions .
