I got this lathe in a trade in 1999 for a 16" DeWalt radial arm saw and a 5 hp RPC. All said in done I got the lathe for free plus a few dollars cash. Was originally a three phase machine. P.O. replaced motor with a 1 hp Baldor single phase motor. It came with both a head stock wrench and tail stock wrench, even came with a knock out bar, all three factory originals. Haven't really done anything to it other than clean and wax it a few times and put a One-Way Stronghold chuck on it and a live center. I primarily use it to polish parts and drill, tap and thread round stock. I have made some tool handles, lamps and spoons also. I really need to get a metal lathe!
