Comments:

Purchased Nov. 2014 from a Milwaukee CL ad. I had been looking for some time for a 12" with the quick change gearbox. Saw the ad after only 10 minutes - and lucky me, I was the first caller. The seller agreed to hold it for me until I could get there on Sat. (this was Wed.)

This Lathe was well used, but taken pretty good care of. Nothing broken, just needs a going thru and a few new/refurbished parts.

It will serve me well in restoring all my other craftsman machines.

>>>History<<<

Father in-law used fairly regularly to make parts for his car/motorcycles, and also for his friends
Seller inherited it when father in-law passed, and is sat in the corner of his garage until he sold to me
I am the third owner
