I have a '92 13x40, pretty pimped-out-- x,yDRO, snap-handle 5C, Aloris (like
this one).
The chucks are proly cam-lock, which is really convenient. The guy I bought
it from had replaced the main bearing, dealt w/ some defects (like a hole in
the oil housing!), etc. Hopefully QC has improved.
Overall, not a Colchester et al, but not bad. Actually, my buddy's
Colchesters--two of'em--are broken!!
I'd rather an Enco w/ Aloris than a Colchester without!
Should check, tho, to see whether the quick change stuff isin fact
Aloris--could affect price.
It looks like this one has nine speeds, instead of 12. Mine has 8--no
formal back gear, I believe--70 rpm is my lowest speed, about 2200 top.

OK, Mr. PV. This will really show where I belong on the experience
ladder, but I gotta ask anyway. I have seen you refer to this before,
but what is a snap-handle? I'm not familiar with that term. Thanks,
Bill.
Seems like an odd thing to barter a lathe for. How many gallons?

Royal is not making lever actuated collet closers anymore, the parts may be
available. Only selling pnuematic ones.
We just bought another 15" Clausing at work, the toolmaker told me to get a
Royal but they don't sell them in the new catalog and a call to their number
just confirmed what the catalog says. So we are modifying the one that was
on the 13" Clausing to fit the 15" by buying a new spindle nose adapter and
the drawtube (about 500.00 total).
The pneumatic is proly nice to use. Wouldn't mind having one.
Why not just put a pneumatic closer on the 15" Clausing?
The photo of the enco (OP) seems to have something of a nose on it, but
doesn't quite look like the nose for a collet closer; also no snap handle.
Any idea what it is?
