April 1, 20241 yr Popular Post Nice lathe! Mine is a Jet 1640 EVS Have had it for a few year. Love it.
April 1, 20241 yr Popular Post I have a Craftsman lathe that I replaced the spindle and drive in. The original was lacking rigidity. I have a Delta 46-460 that I love and use most And a Rockwell 46-111 And a Grizzly variable speed midi lathe I also have an Atlas 6" metal lathe and a Unimat hobby lathe. One might say I like turning.

April 1, 20241 yr Popular Post I got a variable speed Laguna, spindles is all I turn but I know it can do a lot more. But spindles is all I can do
April 1, 20241 yr Popular Post Shopsmith Mark V - 510. Apparently, I have never taken a picture of my machine. Used the bejeebers out of it but, never preserved its image for posterity. Got LOTS of pics of the stuff I've turned on it though! (If anybody is really bored out of their mind and wants to look.)

April 2, 20241 yr Popular Post Just a couple of old Delta Milwaukee machines from the early 1940's. Neither presently set up.
April 2, 20241 yr Popular Post My current (starter) lathe is this Wen. I am awaiting delivery on a new Rikon 70-1824. Hopefully, in the next two weeks.
April 2, 20241 yr Popular Post Mine looks like the one above or at least exactly like the box where mine resides. Picked it up at a flea market a good while back. Too good of a deal not to purchase it. No real place to permanently mount it so it remains safe from my hands. Like me, it now is considered "vintage."

There is a video on YouTube with one made from a skillsaw.
