MY FATHER BOUGHT THIS LATHE IN FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS ABOUT 1966. HE PASSED AWAY IN THE EARLY 1980'S AND MOTHER GAVE IT TO ME. I BUILD A SHOP AT THE HOME IN MISSISSIPPI AND THEN IN 2011 I MOVED TO FLORIDA TO LIVE ON THE OCEAN. EVERYTHING RUSTS, THERE NO MATTER IF YOU KEEP IT OILED. I HAVE NOW MOVED TO TEXAS AND HERE THE DRY CLIMATE AND A BIG SHOP I NOW HAVE WILL LET ME RESTORE THIS EXCELLENT MACHINE.
DAD HAD LOTS OF TOOLS AND PARTS AND WAS METICULOUS IN WHAT HE DID. I WISH DAD WAS HERE TO TEACH IS 84 YEAR OLD SON HOW TO REALLY USE IT. I WILL LEARN BUT SLOWLY.
I HAVE MADE AXLES FOR MY KR2 AIRPLANE AND HAD MUCH FUN IN IT. THE AXLES WERE TO MOUNT A HYDRAULIC TOE BRAKE SYSTEM TO REPLACE THE HEEL MANUAL BRAKES. THE LATHE DID A FINE JOB.
