Hello! Utilathe 16x54" new to the shop.

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a Standard Modern Utilathe through Racer. It is said to have been with the military all it's life and been traded in to Racer recently.

It's a bit tough to find info on the internet about the bigger Utilathes, but I am super excited to have adopted this one!!!

I have been in touch with @Brent H to compare notes already.

Sean.

What did that set you back, if you don't mind sharing?

Racer charged $6800, they told me they had "completely refurbished", crating and packaging was $575, Shipping to Prince George from Cambridge was $2500.

I had done some searching and if I tried to find a machine at a sales place (COVID makes swap meets tough) the best I could find was in California for similar dollars, but USD and smaller and Chineser.

Your shop is taped out like an automotive shop?

Yes, I am working on a machine shop corner now. The lathe is machine 1.
