This time it's all mine. 
I figured I ougt to start my shop out small, just a 20x60.


Price was scrap, and that's exactly what I may do with it. Seems to have a lot of problems in the tailstock, apron, and a few in the feedbox. Gonna need new belts, etc. It all depends on how good the ballscrew and ways are. If those are good, I'll fix the rest. Compound definitely has issues. I'll make my money back on the accessories if I scrap it.
I'm not documenting this in an bunch of places though. Just PM. Waayy to much work. But I thought I'd let you all that like to follow me rebuilding garbage. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...r-scrap-389047
