    Perhaps they will change their policies in BC about hydro'ing, recertifying and filling larger customer owned bottles! *fingers crossed*! :mad:

    Looking for a 13-16" Swing lathe 36-48 between centers

    Well, funny thing... I woke up this morning and found that one of my friends bf is a trucker... well, and they were in Milton, Ont... about 20 min away from the linked lathe on post #2. A couple phone calls found that they were looking for items for a backhaul, a deal was struck, a lathe was...

    Looking for a 13-16" Swing lathe 36-48 between centers

    As much as this is what I'm looking for and the price is right from the seller, the additional costs to get it here would very quickly approach a prohibitive fact, I would believe. You bring up some great ideas and possibilities but I might just have to look a little closer (36 hr drive = 12hrs...

    Looking for a 13-16" Swing lathe 36-48 between centers

    As much as that has quite the span, nothing is ever "free"! I'm the type that would always pay something or make a square deal. Priority, definitely not.

    Looking for a 13-16" Swing lathe 36-48 between centers

    Ideally searching for an old South Bend 13-16" lathe with a 6 or 7 foot bed. What can I say, owned a 10K that I rebuild that came from an high school and was metric, so the bed wear was minimal and converted it to an inch machine. Loved it for it's simplicity and abundance of replacement parts...

    12x36

    I did reply to the fellow, about 23 minutes after he posted it. Someone already had beaten me to the punch. They were supposed to go have a look at it last night and I was second on the list. Still a 6 hr drive from my place but certainly would have done it. Messaged the seller again late last...
