If it were a _wood_ lathe it would be made of wood. -- My liberal friends think I'm a conservative kook. My conservative friends think I'm a liberal kook.

wrote: I was wondering why the price was only $100.... Primarily because they don't know what they have ("This is a metal lathe..."), and because Chicom wood lathes that size go on sale for around $150 every day. (not that they're built as well... but...) That Olympus looks like a Sears Craftsman model, and the part number in the vintage machinery link tends to support that. In addition, I'd have to guess that it was manufactured in the same facility as the Atlas 6x18 lathes -- the tailstock is a a clue. Does anybody know if Olympus was an Atlas badge for woodworking gear? LLoyd |
