You win Sir, congratulations.
You probably knew that last fall though
So is it up and running ? Any issues ? And if that's a back splash in the background of the first pic would be possible to get some pics of it, I'll be needing to make one for mine at some point.

I can’t remember if I posted last fall. Yes I took the splash guard off, one of my jobs this winter was to clean the rust and crap off and reinstall it. The lathe is working well making chips. The original motor was a two speed 3 phase and the previous owner had converted to single phase 1725. So I would like to put a 3 phase back on and VFD for it at some point this year and get a little more top and end. I have done lots it, still a list to go,
But yes I can sketch up the chip deflector, no problem for you.

Cheers Mark I'd appreciate that, no rush as mine is a project. Stayed tuned for that thread, a few years away I'm sure as I have a wife, I think most of you will understand.
