I have been looking around for some tooling and other stuff since purchasing a lathe from Bill here on this board.
Well I fell into a deal that is still up in the air. I have to take it all in a bundle deal. This is NOT a for sale deal at this time, as I have not come to any type of agreement with the seller as he doesn't have all the machinist equipment together yet.
I just thought I would mention it here as there was some interest in small to medium sized lathes.
It is a craftsman lathe model 101.28990. That is about all I can tell you at the moment. 3 and 4 jaw chucks, lantern tool post,and a steady rest is all I have seen this far. Tail stock has a dead center.
No broken gears or any sign of a crash. Lathe its self is not rusty, a lot of old gummy oil and lube on it.
If the seller and I can come to terms this weekend I will be able to have pics and more info etc.
PLEASE do not PM me on this subject. Post on this thread and I will let those interested know by Sunday, then list it in the classifieds.
If I don't purchase the whole lot with the lathe I would be more than happy to pass on the info to whom ever may be interested in it.
I am perfectly happy with the Sheldon lathe. But I will be darned if I have not run across one of these little 9" lathes every week for the past month! I looked for one around here local for over a year with very little luck.
If this is out of line, zap it and scold me.
