And someone willing to pay my moving expenses. I figure it will only

Actually..there may be loads of stuff in Michigan. Im sure it all
didnt go into the scrap yards. It is the Rust Belt after all. You just
have to hunt it out.

Networking networking networking.

Anyone need an Axelson lathe? Its 48" by 122". Make you a good deal
on it G

How about a Eberhart 36" shaper? Mighty nice looking machine. I can
probably get it for less than $350. Its sitting under a tarp right
next to the 12" Prentiss-Reed Lathe. It will be cheap too G

Did a 940 mile road trip from NC to upper NY state, 940 m. one way, in Jan.
Nasty freezing rain and snow all the way to trade my sorry-ass Shoptask for
an old Clausing 12" x 36". Drove it back down without stopping except for
fuel and had that truck driver miserable pain between my shoulder blade
muscles for two weeks. I'm road tripped out for this year. Why don't you
get a 40' trailer, Gunner, load it up with all those too far away California
good deals, and have a traveling sale to all your buds on this list? I'm
buying the beer when you get to North Carolina.

Actually I'm in the process of working with a hot shot driver for
transport of a lathe from your area some time in the future. It'll be
at least a couple of weeks if not a month before I get the cash up (I
wish people would pay me on time) but you might start keeping you eyes
open. I'm looking for the ultimate cheap of course. :-)

Here's what I'm looking for so if anybody finds a good deal of there
on the west coast let me know.

I'm looking for something like a 15x54 LeBlonde with taper
attachment. It can be a little smaller but I would really rather not
go much smaller than a 14" though if I ran across a 10EE or equivalent
I wouldn't complain much. The main things I'm wanting are good
rigidity, a taper attachment, enough power to take at least a 0.100"
cut, the ability to run at least 1200 rpm, and the ability to cut
within at least 0.003" in 12" near the chuck. I don't need super
precision but I don't need another lathe that cuts 0.005" or more out
near the chuck.

A large spindle through hole would be a bonus but not required. I
figure that 6,000 lbs would probably be the heaviest that could be
hauled safely by her trailer unfortunately or I would even consider a
larger lathe as well.

I'm figuring on a $2,000 budget though I might manage to stretch
that a little for the right lathe.

Wayne..there is a Prentiss Reed at the local div. of OilWell Services
that has become surplus, and a Okuma in LA that may fit the bill.

Ive also got my 13x36 Clausing Colchester round top for sale for $700.
It has bed wear. It does have the taper attachment. Using the taper
attachment to correct for bedwear, it will do better than .003 in 12"
Includes 6" 4 jaw, several drive plates, handwheel collet closer, etc

1. Dont have a rig big enough to haul that much iron
2. Dont have a Class 3 anymore
3. Dont have the funds to fill the truck
4. Dont have the time.

Really ? No way. That's plain crazy. I wouldn't want to go near
there before 9-11. It had briefly crossed my mind about doing pools
and spa for them. I wouldn't last a week in that area, that or so
bored from avoiding trouble.

I like how you said road trip twice. They'd freak when they saw the
gas prices out here , I don't even look anymore. There is one of the
cheapest in town right next to me and I could have sworn that I saw at
one place I stop at for ice , it was 2.35 for 87 oct.

Need to work harder at my solar stuff. Got a lead on making my roof
sloped more for next to nothing. Gonna need a boom truck and know
just the right person. I wonder if I'm suppose to ask the city/county
to "redo" my roof. My luck they would say that that's too good and you
have to pay thousands to tell us its adequate. Might have to blow off
a good deal just so I don't have to deal with potential legalized
extortion problems. Weekend roof party...

I thought about it but unfortunately it's not good enough. I really
need it to cut true without the taper attachment. It would take to
much time to setup that way.

BTW I'm willing to pay you to check it out and to be there when it's
loaded to make sure it gets done right. My driver doesn't have any
experience with machine tools.
