is $1500.00 a good price ?


Most likely it is a good deal.

I checked ebay and they are trying to get $6-7K for that machine.

Luckliy this one has the metric thread cutting gears, face plate,
3 & 4 Jaw chucks, 5c collet adaptor, aloris tool post with a bunch
of holders, taper attachment and original manual. This wasi n a tool &
die,
mold shop. The owner said they bought it new. Did a couple of test cuts
and its a tight machine as one would expect on a machine with hardend
ways.

Anyway now i can make some .0001" tolerance candle stick holders for
christmas gifts....

Tom.

Having just read your comments about how the lathe is tooled, quite frankly,
you stole it. Good on ya, Tom.
