Congrats. I've been in talks with my old High School, where my kids will be going about this stuff. It's a slow moving train at this point, but at least there was some initial interest. The ball is in their court at this point, but I will poke again at some point to keep it moving. There...

$600 is an absolute steal, congrats. Fortune favours the brave. Deals are out there, sometimes you just have to go digging and put the time in to peek under shrink wrap.

I would assume the 8t6 means 8" 6 jaws

12k is a lot of money, not sure if it's worth it or not, but your see a lot more 25# ers than 100's.... Might be worth it for someone though. Not this guy. What kind of hammer are you building Tom. I want to build a Clay Hayes style tire hammer someday, but with the Gary Huston height...

Also has a 25lb for $6k

Congrats. Are you going to wrap it back up for the drive home?

Must bring your own shrinkwrap to wrap it back up if you don't buy it.

True, we don't.....Maybe they wrapped it AFTER a few months sitting outside.....

I think it looks worse than it is. I've noticed that with a few pics I've taken out in my shop lately where phone cameras make things look a lot more rusty and grimy than they actually are in real life. I'm not just saying that to make my stuff seem better than it is either, because my tools...

Can't help but also laugh at the irony of this lathe all wrapped up but stored indoors, vs all those other machine tools that get dragged outside and left to die in the elements. Only to be offered for sale months later when the rust sets in at stupid prices.

Oh, it's a lathe. I can even tell is has a tailstock too....:D I gotta admit, if it were closer, I'd be curious enough to go have a peak. If I bought it, I'd pay with cash wrapped in saran wrap :D.

I need to make one of those demagnetizers and hit everything in the shop with it. Seems everything I own is magnetized anymore it's more than annoying. Bandsaw, welding table, Mill table, calipers.....I hate magnetized tools. Thanks for posting it.

This might take the cake for the least effort I've ever seen put forth for making a machine tool ad. I thought it was already a low bar, but this guy just limbo'd under it without slowing down....At least he identified it was a lathe....
