Thread: New lathe

We will see after i tare it a part bolt by bot clean it , sand blast it passe it throu anti rust ortophosphoric acid . polish the bedways with methall wool , painte it and assemble it with a quality grease and oil
After a some adjustements it will be like brand new and there is nothing broken in it it is cast iron and the bushings are brass It came with a extra spindle pair iof bushings
Now it worth every penny from the near 380 dolars i paid for it shiping included
It will survive me a after me someone else will work on it .no matter that is manifactured the 20 or 30 years of the century
The teeth of the weels for the threads is 1.5 modul so with one teeth cuting tooland a rod of cast iron i can make the missing weels for the threads and this will cost me 100 bucs for the instrument and the material at the worst case scenario
its a beast - they dont make those bad pupies anymore It is class of its own
