I bought this machine off craigslist a few years ago from a seller in CT. It appears to have been a single owner machine and a machinist had it in his household shop. He bought it new according to his family. It has a leather belt overhead drive and is powered by a 3/4 hp 3 phase motor. Everything on this machine is original, best I can tell. I have 2ea 3 jaw chucks, a 4 jaw chuck, a face plate, lathe dogs, tool bit holders, and many other small accessories for it. Works very well, runs perfectly smooth, quick change gear box. Came with a static phase converter, I disconnected it, and run it off my rotary phase converter. I'd like to get a taper attachment and a steady rest for it, maybe someday. Not real high on my priority list right now though. Has an 1-7/8" x 8 threaded spindle and takes 2A collets.
