It's Here! Caution - New Lathe Gloat

[timf67]

Well, during my lunch break, UPS freight delivered my 850 lb bundle of joy! I was a little nervous when it arrived with forklift fork holes in it:

But it looks like the forks missed everything inside luckily! Here's my first look at her:

And the smartest accessory that I ordered was the pneumatic wheel set. I had her off of the pallet, across the back yard, and into my shop in about 30 minutes by myself!

There's a little bit of rust on the ways and tailstock quill. Tonight after work I will clean off the rust, get it all put together and take a few more pics! :gar-Bi

Quick send it back, save your marriage - no one including your wife will see you for a long long time.

Awesome!!!! Yeah,but can it cook? Not that I'm very jealous or anything like that. If I bought one of those I would be looking for a new cook. :rotflm:

Wow that is one nice lathe, I always wanted to get one of those, too bad it does not have a reverse, it says right on the lathe "one way"
NOw you can make some real big bowls. Aloha.

Great looking lathe. It should prove to give you a life time of turning pleasure. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this lathe.
