    Yep I suck

    I figured I would beat you guys to it.
    I scored a Monarch Model K lathe. 16x54. Even came with the original manual and invoice from1964. Nice and tight. Even has a Dorian quick change tool post and 4 holders.

    I paid $1600 for it.

        Here you go. Worked real well. Used a sling on each arm. Lifted it up no problem and pulled the trailer out and set it on the ground.

            Pretty much just a large Unimat-

              Probably make a chip that weighs as much as a Unimat.

                  Nope. You've gone WAY beyond a simple "you suck" on that one IMHO.

                  1) Congratulations.
                  2) I hate you.

                    Proportionately somethings seems way off with that strap used with the car hoist,

                    does not appear to be as wimpy as the orange stuff but still looks off, that is one heap of machine there.

                              Epic suckage. Huge local barometric pressure drop on that one.

                              What's worse, the act of buying it or having the space to put it in? Please don't tell us you already have the necessary power already in place.
