Comments:
I am the second owner of this lathe. I bought it from the previous owner's son in law in 2018. His father in law had a machine shop in South Milwaukee, WI and purchased it to serve as a tool room lathe. Shortly after the original purchase he took it home as he sold his shop. It is a 1961 model complete with all of the accessories available at that time. She runs like a champ. Just need to remember to oil her up with ABC before using. It has a QCTP to make work happen faster. I love this lathe.
