I have a 20" by 14' Lodge and Shipley lathe that I am parting out.

I am mostly paying attention to parts that tend to break when machines
are moved, and need to be replaced, such as handles, taper attachment
base etc. The usual stuff.

But, interestingly, this lathe has replaceable ways, they mount in the
slots on the bed. These have very little wear near the headstock, no wear
beyond that, and can be always installed with the unworn side towards
the chuck. (the lathe was used for an unusual roll threading operation
and that is why the ways have little wear).

Am I assuming correctly that I can, eventually, find a buyer for
those? I will have to ask for a lot of money since waiting for a long
time is not cheap for me.

Yes, I'm sure that several square feet of scrap-value-cost iron in
your own (paid-for) building cost you plenty of cash out of pocket,
don't they, Ig? g

Yes, capitalism is awesome.

I paid $425 for that lathe, estimated weight 10k lbs.

But I had to remove it, bring my 15k forklift etc.

The question is, should I try to save those ways, I am thinking yes
but not 100% sure.

If its in that good of shape..why the hell are you parting it out?????

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

It was missing major components in the carriage and cross slide. Like
I said, they were not using it in a normal way.
