Hi everyone , looking for a lathe for my shop and found the size I am looking for but it's in need of repairs! For those of you who dug into and rebuilt your head stock please chime in.
This is quoted in the add
"20" x 60" Modern Lathe was new in 2010. It needs work to be done in the headstock, there is a stripped gear and a bearing that needs to be replaced so there are only a few speeds that work. There are some other minor problems with it, broken handles, name plates, etc. "
My first question is part avaliablility, are they readily available?
Any idea the cost to rebuild a head stock?
I have physically been to look at the lathe yet, not sure if it's worth going to have a look or to pass and keep searching.
Looking forward to hearing your opinions and knowledge
Thanks
marc
