This lathe is one that I inherited from my dad's woodworking shop after he passed away. It is a j-170 yates american that he bought from the caddo parish school board sale in the mid 1970's. He actually bought two of them and combined them into one useable one, then resold what was left. The lathe is in great condition, and runs really well.
