Holy smokes that won’t last long!

I wonder what the trick is to turning it on with no fwd/rev switch.
It still looks like a heck of a deal

 

[Brent H]

Not sure if the tailstock is missing.................? probably lots of things under the cabinet?

No FWD/REV switch suggest to me that someone changed it out to a 110 V single phase motor from the original.

For what it's worth, the lathe appears not to have been used much recently. No trace of splatters on the half painted wall behind the lathe plus a much outdated lantern style tool holder and the clutter of hand tools etc. Perhaps a fixer upper? Just saying!

 

[Brent H]

Sent a message about the tailstock - see what he says

 

[Brent H]

Tail stock is missing - dang - I think I would have bought it and then figured out a plan..... tailstock not seemingly available anywhere at this time. Could make one but that would be a long process.....

 

[Hruul]

Dang. So pretty much a parts machine at this point then?

 

[YotaBota]

That's funny, I noticed the missing switch but never saw the missing tailstock. lol

I sent the seller a picture and he came back that it "definitely is not there" so, you could do a bunch of stuff with just the carriage and maybe a chuck mount on the tool post but it would suck for many operations.

If anyone has a 13" Standard Modern tail stock hanging about and would sell it reasonable I can shoot this guy an offer - if not....well...not a great buy ......

 

[YotaBota]

If it runs good, the rest of the machine is good and you have room to put it, hit him with $1k . With the "massive" list of deficiencies he just may take it.

I am off on the water now so would have to buy it sight unseen .......I can send my son on a mission but I would have to figure out a place for it to sit while I tracked down or made the tailstock - I have the blue prints for the 1120/1334 so it would be a possible build to really close to OEM but.......projects ......

I think that a tailstock from a SM11Xxx would fit as long as the donor lathe was the newer version with the feed selector knob on the front of the headstock versus the older, who had it on the cover guard side. I think they renamed them “Series 2000” lathes from the older “Utilathe”.
The reason I am saying this: on the newer 11Xxx, the actual swing is 13”; so center height would be as you need it for the lathe in the add. The tailstocks on both my SM13X40 and SM11x20 are 100% identical and interchangeable.
So you could get one off of a clapped out 13X40 as well.

Looks great but as always inspect if you can or get excellent deal otherwise to account for issues - tailstock better be there - or you will be looking for one or making one.

No Longer Available - Standard modern 1334 metal lathe $1,750.00

 

[Brent H]

It was not me that bought it. Would be a gem of a deal for one of the tool movers in Toronto to nab and throw on a tailstock and 3 phase motor. As is stood a new tailstock would be around $1000 to $2000 if you had to go to Standard Modern to buy. The owner confirmed to me that it definitely did not have a tailstock anywhere in his garage (I sent him a picture of one) and the ton of tooling looked to be some tool bits and some boring bars. As @Tom Kitta said, it better have the tailstock or be a really incredible deal.....well...no tailstock....bummer

Plus I would have to sell my other lathe that is essentially new with all the parts I have made - LOL

Bandsaw I think has better luck following me home, although if I get a call for the lathe I was checking out with @architect I may be lying...hahaha

 

[Dusty]

This old Geezer had an ugly gut feeling about this lathe, refer to my post #5.

There will be other deals because the used market is picking up some which I suspect is largely due the pandemic, loss of jobs and families running out of money. Just saying!

Glad some enjoyed my "Sleep tight tonight your air force is awake" photo.

How does a person "lose" a tailstock? Like they can be used anywhere else??

 

[Brent H]

@DPittman : I have no idea - I would guess that the guy bought the house and the lathe was left there as it was too heavy to move out quickly. The tailstock is probably in the dump or in some guys box who doesn't care. There is a guy on Kijiji Ontario who bought a lathe at auction and another guy bought one the same time - the auction company messed up and put some of the 13" lathe parts with the 10" lathe ....both guys are screwed and have the wrong tailstocks and steady rests etc....

Someone bought it today and hopefully they have a tailstock - LOL

 

[Brent H]

Here we go again - steady rest, follow rest only $1000 and ... NO TAILSTOCK!!!
