Southbend lathe for sale
« on: August 16, 2010, 02:22:19 PM »
Here is a little Southbend Lathe for sale cheap $$60 (covers my gas to pick it up). A friend has to vacate his shop and needs to find a new home for this. It is currently disassembles and I am picking it up tomorrow. Prior to disassembly it was working. I will have more info tomorrow night once I get my hands on it. I am not sure of the tooling included, but whatever it has on it will go with it as I have no need for more stuff.
I am giving this forum members first dibbs on it.
If you are interested or know someone who is drop me an e-mail at isamila@motionconcepts.com

I took the motor into a shop and had it wired for 230v and wires labeled to make hookup easier... Don't mind the braided Dacron used to stitch the leather belt, it's strong stuff... lol

Here's a short vid of the machine powered up... ;D

Don't laugh... You knew I had to try it...lol
