10" atlas lathe find

[32rules]

Always wanted a lathe
No figuring out what all I got

 

[Techie1961]

Very nice indeed. You not only got a lathe but you also got the rest of the machine shop with it.

 

[ssdave]

Nice machine, and even better are the accessories. If you paid under $2000 for the lot, you did very well. Key is that you have chucks, steady rest, follower rest, toolpost grinder, and a lot of other hard to find and expensive accessories. And a quick change gearbox, which makes this hobbyist grade lathe actually usable. I have an identical machine, and have done some good work with it.

It was an older gentleman who was getting rid of stuff he wasn't going to use any more
Your making me feel like I should go back and give him more
He only wanted $600 for the lot
As u can see, it is in excellent condition
He had it for like 40 years he thought

 

[R.Anderson]

At 600 you stole it. With this score you will get lots of "you ****" so good score, YOU ****.

 

[royesses]

Great Deal! Congats. You even got a tool post grinder and milling attachment(at least that's what it looks like). You will have many hours of fun. It looks as though everything is in excellent condition.

YOU ****!!!

I have the same machine with only half the accessories for $325 but some rust with a lot of clean up required. I'd gladly have paid the difference for what you got! Great score!

 

[Blackmarket]

That's a well earned you ****! Nice find.

What a beautiful machine! I'm sure the gentleman seller was happy to see it going to a good home, and that it will be taken care of as well as he has for so many years.

 

[Zeke]

Wow. You got a 1000 worth of tooling and accessories for 600 with a beautiful lathe thrown in for free. **** of the year!

 

[Whitworth]

A great deal. Now sell all that stuff and buy a real lathe.

 

[JoeFin]

Pretty much a "Once in a life time deal" and you totally ****.

You might want to think about a more substantial table that won't allow the bed to twist or sag. There was a guy over at the Homeshop Machinist site that was floating a cultured granite table in place for his lathe

 

[SweetD]

Wow that is GREAT! Nice score, and I'm sure you will keep it in pristine condition.

U ****!

Nice score, its a good to see someone who will add it to a collection

 

[MoparTrucks]

Boy, I'm not sure I could live with myself taking advantage of an old man like that...wait, I am an old man so screw it. You scored and i am so jealous!!!

 

[Gary in NY]

Yes, you ****. Looks like a great deal.
