    Kumer lathe, $1500, Canning, NS

    Yeah, it does have a tailstock, LOL! @YotaBota @Susquatch , good points both. The fellow coordinating the sell is helping out a gent of 93 who is downsizing and he says there's more than in the photo - basically have to see it to know what's there. The steady is a good indication. Based on...

    Kumer lathe, $1500, Canning, NS

    CA-ON Multi-conductor wire

    +1 on Digikey and making sure you have an adequate voltage rating on the cable. Digikey was the best price for multi conductor, voltage (600?) rated cable when I was gearing up my drill press mod. Fast and cheep shipping too. If I recall, the cable was rated for the German railway standard...
