I'm on the west coast where soon they will probably ban you from
owning a lathe at home! *Just kidding *they ban everything else out
here.


What state - and how far from Taft, Ca. (Gunner's home base)?

BTW, you DO like cats, don't you? g


Central valley Calif just south of Sacramento.
That model 200 for $800 has no tooling and the guy has never cut
threads with it so I don't think there are any change gears.
I just found another Logan 10" x 24" model 815 QC gear box 5 drawers
full of tooling ( several chucks, faceplate, steady rest, follower
rest, live centers, jacobs chucks ect.) The guy is asking B.O. $750
to low to start?

That sounds much much better.

Now you need to check it for "way wear"..and if its ok, pay the man.

Oh..and check EACH of the gear ranges in the threading box.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
