Very nice little lathe.
My favorite part of the ad. "This lathe is not a pieced together piece of shit."

..... well, that quantifies it quite nicely.

I know Shawn fairly well for a while now and we've traded a lot of stuff back and forth. He's a good guy and trustworthy.

That is glorious. And how did they find a toy multifix tool post? And the scribed scale on the edge of the cross slide is brilliant.

I liked that scale so much when I saw it that I downloaded that photo. I have not yet looked at my lathe but I think it should work perhaps with a glue on scale instead of engraved. I've added it to my future project list for some day when I am bored or even just feel like it as project 42L7B4.

Very Cool T-Slots too!

It describes the stuff that guys have been glomming together from mismatched parts, in order to make bank on the name, quite accurately, though.

FWIW, that is like to actually BE a real Multifix, they were made in sizes down to match Watchmaker Lathes, if you ran a fat enough budget when buying! If you did not want the MultiFix, you got a Tripan, another fine Swiss Product!

The Tee slots are a pretty standard thing on Schaublin Lathes. The 150, that was in the last shop I worked in, had the same on the top slide, and Schaublin sold several accessories that bolted directly in to them, like fast retracting threading tools and such.
