Cliff, we'll get the word out sir, this is a great thing you are doing.

Is it fully functional? Any issues?

 

Issues?  The motor  is the original so it's old and  a bit funky. I took  that one off the machine and  put a 1HP baldor which has since found a new home on my metal lathe.  But Last time I had it wired it worked.

 

The lathe had been taken down by the prior owner and  they  packed the bearings with grease. They are probably the original bearings.  I think they are supposed to be oiled.  But they seem fine.

 

the thing is not light.   there is a lot of mass in this little lathe.

Oh.  It's in the north west corner of Hunterdon County NJ   about 5 miles from  Exit 12 on Rt 78
