Been playing with my new toy!

Luckily I have other work in the pipeline.
I bought this lathe on a last minute as the owner had to move from his rented house at short notice and needed to downsize his collection of ... everything.

I had to help him move as part of the deal, and he has so much junk piled in boxes that I have given him a week to start sorting through for the chuck key and gears and other tools. I expect to get a nice surprise when he finally gets all my bits together.

That looks VERY nice & capable Dennis. You also wrote, QUOTE: waiting for a truck to deliver it, it was too much effort for me to move it myself. UNQUOTE:

Q: What. The chuck key??????????

Sunnybob, a chuck key and waiting just a week? Are you an impatient soul or something!

AES

Actually I have got the chuck key already! I went and picked up the extra tool cabinet that came with and all loose parts beforehand so they wouldn't be lost in transport.
