Nice. Hey I saw in your picture it is already 2017! Can you tell me who won the US Presidential Election by chance??? Just kidding.

He he thats a vendor picture - i guess he did not set up his camera right
The pics do not show the real condition - they are much worse than the reality
my pictures will be better

Looks like it will clean up nice, I have machine tools too, seems to be a lot of it for sale around here now, just got a tiny indexer for my small lathe.

Have fun Rusen.

Well mashining is contagious , just like Jnats
I will buy a good small drilling press and a old milling mashine and 3 - rd compresor for my blasting set up , When i have money , offcoarse .
Now i needed second lathe and i avoid new craps from China that cost so much
I whanted a old mashine , heavy but the size of my first one so i got it
I howp that i will manage to make the countershaft as i will weld a base and put 2 old bearing holders on it an i will make an spindle or axis for the aluminium step puley that came with the mashine
I need to calculate and make another 2 puley for the motor and the axe to motor
it need a new quick change toolpost
After all it will became a beauty - its shure
