He gave me some pointers,and told me to get a better tool holder. Also going to get a better chuck for it. Forgot to look for one yet ? Randy got one for his for about 100.00 , he had one of these lathes till he got one from enco.

The dealer I buy most of my machinist tools through says these smaller bench top lathes are their top selling machines. Fewer big factory / machineshop lathes are being sold nowadays. Plenty of really good quality lathes and tooling going cheap these days.

Small ones are harder to find, 10 dia and up are much easier and right now there are lots of them at give away prices.

Something 3 phase goes fairly cheap. I just can't get one into my basement. LOL

No idea when I will get a garage up ?

 

[tbone75]

I like my basement shop to well. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plus don't take nothing extra to keep it that way. LOL

Tapered headstock?

Thinks its a #2 taper on the tail end. The tool holder ? Haven't had it off there yet. LOL

Things are not always as they seem. Thats blackstrap molasses on the ice cream. Best combination ever. Not too sweet, and full of flavour.

Been selling that at Cracker Barrel forever.
Blackstrap and cotton balls is a good Childs toy

 

[tbone75]

Want a drill chuck for it too.

Evening fellas.

Win #2 tonight. Bought a yardmachine wacker off CL for $20 today. Guy was asking $40 and it needed fuel lines. Couldn't compression test it but he had it run for a few seconds with starting fluid. 4 stroke.

Brought it home and replaced lines from fuel line I picked up this past weekend as well as an extra fuel filter I had. Would start and run for a few seconds after lots of primer bulbing. Figured he got me but for $20 I can part it out and get my peanuts back.

Took the carb off shot carb cleaner through anywhere I could, reassembled and started right up. He had the idle turned way up so lowered it and got it to rest at idle but wanted to start to lope so bumped it a little bit.

Figure after a few tanks of high test with Startron in it it might clean out. Pretty clean through acceleration so I'm optomistic. Will now have a backup for the future.

Thanks to this site and its members I was able to do this simple thing. 6 months ago I would have tossed it or shelved it for "someday".


Sent on the fly.

You got that right. I just crossed a bunch of tools off my list so it might have to wait a while but I'm sure it would get the gunk out much better than a 1/2 axed cleaning with carb cleaning. Maybe a few more lawn cuttings and I can get a friend to pick me the one up from HF.
