I would call it $1,000 MAXIMUM. And *they* load it.

One thousand? It's Georgia, not a chance. You might be able to get them (city) to load it.Originally posted by nickel-city-fab View PostComment

Several of you said that is rust, but I made my way over there looking to find scrummy kosmoline.
I said earlier that it is not a 3 1/8 bore MT7, 14 x 40.
We are both correct.
That really is rust, and it really isn't 14 x 40.
It is still sitting on it's shipping pallet, never used, never had the plastic ripped off it, never turned on, power never hooked up.
but the ways are rusted to crap. it's in a metal shed type building, no ends on the building.
It got a 3 jaw, steady rest and faceplate, all I could find.
Not a 14 x 40 , but more like a 20 x 80 gap bed
model 328-1315
No wonder the water bill is so high, such a waste of money by the Water Company.
it's this one:

What a shame, still your number one eyeball was the only way to be sure about it.Comment

Unreal. Another fine example of our tax dollars at work.Comment

But you can bet they saved all the $25 (new) office chairs under carefully maintained cover. This is such a usual thing that I believe it must be intentional, done for reasons I have no clue about.CNC machines only go through the motions.

Chuck is heavily rusted and with that being clearly the case I'm thinking that the dark motley looking brown on the ways and carriage travel rack is also rust. I'm sure it can be "saved" but there would be forever "oil retention pitting" in the ways.
Also the OPENING BID is $4K and you can buy a brand new similar size for $5K to $6K. And what about other bits and pieces? I see a face plate but where are the fixed and traveling steady rests?

Obviously they had been reading forums like this and came to believe that rusty old iron really is more desirable that a new lathe from Asia.

Read Ringo's post 33. He's actually seen it. A new one seems to be around $17kOriginally posted by BCRider View Post

Well, it was never nice, it's from China, CommieNazi.Comment

If you don't like Chinese machine tools perhaps this lathe might appeal?

Still be good for welding or repair shop, maybe a bit lower price.. still can be usefull..Comment

Yeah, you can weld the work while it is still mounted in the chuck and not worry about the ways....Originally posted by 754 View Post

Some guys get tired of paying thru the nose, for non precision bushings and bosses.. great lathe for that, most little ones cant drill big holes.
also good for die head use or bigger tapping..Comment
