I think, for the first time..Ive fallen in love with a lathe.


This is the first one I've seen for sale on e-bone.

It is a magnificant machine, but the 13EE or the EE1000 can run circles around
the Rivett.



Sigh....so far, so heavy, so broke....


Oh, yeah!

Sadly, I know a guy who bought a Rivett 1020S only to have the machine fall
forward (onto the operator's side of the machine, thereby destroying most of
the operational controls) when being delivered.

A dropped toolroom lathe is worth perhaps its scrap value ... if that.
