So as some of you know we had a lathe & surface grinder donated to us. We picked them both up on Friday. Big thanks to all that helped with that. @LukeStrickland, @somecallmery, @dallasmagna, @Chris_Wischkowsky, @Know and a few others. We have been working on them cleaning them up and getting them ready for service. Friday evening we started cleaning them up. The lathe in particular appears to be in great shape. We cleaned it up a lot already. Chris, myself, @David_A_Tucker, @hon1nbo, @Photomancer, @BobKarnaugh & @EthanWestern
It’s a 16x40 with DRO. The accessories we received with it were quite a few tool holders, several chucks including 2 4 jaws, a 3 jaw, 5c collet chuck & a steady rest.
We temporarily wired it up yesterday evening to give it its maiden DMS turn. It’s not quite there yet to put into service. We still have some work to do to get it up to snuff. I did fix the DRO & smoothed out some of the tapered gib for the compound.
First turn
I didn’t get a pic of it cleaned up or loaded up on the trailer.
