Who has machine tools?!?

Picked her up. Seems like itll do the job. The old man that sold it was super nice. He's an old hobbiest. He tossed the micrometers in for free as he was happy to see his lathe go to a good home.

She needs a good cleaning and oiling. He said he had the jaws out of the chuck and isnt sure he got the scrolls back together perfect, but he said its more on center than it was.

I need to establish an area in my room of doom before I can set her up proper and make a cut, but I had to seize the opportunity for a cheap lathe with tooling when I could.

$300 is a great price for one of those! That looks like a lot of fun

That little shaper is super cool!

thats something someone usually does only once 😋

Somebody left the key in the chuck. That's a no-no.

When I buy a pinball machine that’s my entire mindset. “It’s not mine until it’s in the truck”

[BrickHaus]

Yeah, 300 is exactly what I've been looking for. He said he's going to hold it for me, man this work day is going to feel like an eternity.

[Walker]

That's a good price.....

Im posting in hopes Velcor smiles upon me. This cheapy 7x14" lathe popped up locally for 300 bucks. Im set up to go buy it after work, but someone could always snipe me today so until its in my truck I need the good vibe.

No new machine, but I've been putting the new mill to the test and I'm blown away 🤯

I think my next project is to make a set of machinist jack 😅
(And maybe a set of longer C-clamp 🤣)



And followed it with my first power tapping that didn't end up in a broken tap or stripped threads 😅

[DocsMachine]

Woohoo! More toys for the toyboxes!

I've got an old benchmaster manual mill that I got off facebook marketplace for 875, I just took it all apart for moving and found out the motor and milling chuck is adjustable, so I could mill at an angle without having to have an angled vise, pump mag rails here I come

Update: VFD installed, head rewired for 230v, cleaned up the majority of negligence from the past 3 years and she seems to be happy! Still have to tram everything up but 7 thou out off of an eyeball ain't bad!
