NE WI | Expect to spend as much on tooling as what the lathe cost. I picked up an old Rockwell 14x40 that has the variable speed drive. Comes in handy when changing to a different dia part and you dont have to mess with belt changes. Mine came with a 3 and 4 jaw chuck and a face plate with dogs. I picked up a milling attachment for it and use it to cut keyways on shafts. Mine has some slop hear and there but you learn to work with it. I make bushings and shafts all the time. Cut the welds off of old worn out sprockets to reuse the hub. | |
