Ditto, how about somebody finding just loads of stuff around the East Coast or
better yet Michigan....... I'd love to junk the lathe I have and pickup something I could actually use. Russ Wizinsky www.professorwiz.com www.metalhobbies.com |

Gunner 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 Cook Shamrock, TX http://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook |

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... |
