    Metal Lathe, 14 x 40 Gear Head (with gap)

    Hey all, Sorry for not getting back or monitoring my post. Just like my old Mill the Lathe sold quickly "local" on F-Book Market place. Yes, it was a slow move getting it up out of the basement, skids, ramps and a 3ton Chain hoist..... solo. As I have posted in the past the logistics of...

    Metal Lathe, 14 x 40 Gear Head (with gap)

    It's time for my lathe to go! As much as I want to hang onto the beast the logistics of a upcoming move make it impossible to keep.. It's your typical Chinese Gear head lathe (no idea how old it is but by guess would be 40+ years?). I converted to 230v 5hp 1ph when I got it. D5 Chucks, 2x...

    Elliott Omnimil 00 + Tools SOLD

    Funny how how with a Mill its either a monster or its micky mouse and a "wanna-be" mill that not capable of anything. These Elliots are pretty unique. Manual says about 1100 pounds (gross at 1600... I assume crated)... having moved it I'm pretty sure its over 1200 (Tooling if interested would...

    Elliott Omnimil 00 + Tools SOLD

    (Located in Abbotsford B.C.).... As much as I wanted this to be a restoration project, sadly, because of future plans, its time for someone else to take on the rebuild of this unique little milling machine. This is an Elliott Omnimil 00. You can find a great information article here...

    Greetings from the West Coast.

    Well after some serious reflection... plenty of beer... I have come to the conclusion and the truth... I will never get to restoring my old Elliot Milling machine. The task of removing it from my basement is done and I will be posting it up for sale (Reminder, this machine has had all of its...

    Greetings from the West Coast.

    Yes, Torn about the whole process, still contemplating my options. Came across this reversible 1hp 1750 230v a Princess Auto. It's totally enclosed and requires airflow externally to cool. Likely the highest China quality that Princess can get?..... still the overall body and mount seems to be...
