Looks similar to mine for a fifth of the price. Guy doesn't know how to measure a lathe. Price might be a bargain.
 
How does one break the cross slide handle? Tipped over?
Yup, ask me how I know...... Never did that on my lathe, but I watched a fellow do it on a mill. Doesn't take much when the mass that is going down is big.
 
what size does everyone think that is ? 14x40 ? looks like a real big 3 jaw for a 14" lathe
 
Just scaling off the garage doors behind it which usually are 24", I'd say it has a 6ft bed, that 3 jaw might be 10" max, and the swing is 9 or 10. The spindle doesn't look even half as big as the chuck though. I bet that 3-jaw chuck is an add-on. Guy prolly wasn't happy with the cheap 3 jaw chuck that came with it.

9 or 10 x 48?

That went quickly. Looks to be 13x40 to my eye, very similar to the Dashin Prince style Taiwanese lathes.

Fruitvale's pretty close to me, I wish i'd known about this forum 4 days ago... Not that I need this lathe, but it would've been fun to call the seller and chat.
