    Yes your right . I can find plenty in Ontario and places but the shipping is what gets me. Plus this covid makes it harder again. I got quoted 3600 bucks from different companies to ship a lathe to me from Ontario.

    The ad has been taken down. I guess somebody got suckered into it. Didn’t seem like it the guy was open to low offers. Anyways Ill find something sensible eventually.

    Thanks for that. I’ll look at the drawing and see if I can find a shear pin for the cross feed, as for the longitudinal feed there’s definitely a gearing issue in the carriage. Even when manually moving it there’s a spot where you can almost turn the wheel 3/4 of a turn. I don’t think I needed...

    I wiped some dirt off the ways and they looked good. That’s why I said it didn’t look like it was used much. Just abused. It’s in a shop but the guy is a welder/ fabricator. The lathe was exposed to all the grinding dust and shit that’s why I think it looks rusted.

    Priced a few parts earlier for the new 1236 king, and just for the 2 gears alone I’d be in a few hundred. But I mean once you start tearing into something you’ll always have surprises. Head stock seemed fine. No excess bearing play or anything. And the half nut worked as it should. I tried two...

    Newfoundland. I’ve been looking about a year now. Only 4 lathes have came up on the island. Only one was reasonable. I was suppose to go have a look with intentions on buying. It was a 13” south bend. But the seller changed his mind and kept it. 12-13” would be ideal. But I’d prefer a 14” just...

    Was looking at a lathe today. It has seen better days. But the ways and stuff look good. I don’t think it has been used much but it has been abused in a way of operator error. The guy didn’t really know how to use it. It has a few problems. I believe there is inner gears stripped. Cross feed...
