• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Jeebuz, but I have seen a 111 Tripan Tool post sell (not that I was paying that!)for more than the ask for this lathe!

It's not a "be all to end all" kind of machine, but still, a pretty good buy, IMO!

Pretty good, second operation lathe! Just need to know what the spindle bore and taper is!

He does say no tooling included, so I'm guess it doesn't come with it.

I've got the 5C version of it, pretty rare as far as I can tell. They are a superb lathe, essentially a Schaublin (parts are interchangeable and Habegger worked for Schaublin).

As Trev suggests, an ideal second lathe/second op lathe (you need power feed and thread cutting for the first lathe). Next to no runout, spindle mounted collets and you just pull the whole slide rest off and out of harms way for polishing etc. Here's looking at the runout on mine

Kind of amazing these sell for as little as they do.

If you want a 102, I've a 20mm Schaublin w/ stand and ton of collets for sale a little more money. (keeping two and a couple of 70's, just don't need another)
