If you need some good reading

Beautiful rebuild. That gentleman has much more patience (and skill) than I.

Kevin Gallimore - slinking off downstairs to his SB with some original paint.

Ditto. I admire the author tremendously.

I will not disassemble my lathe. I know how it will end up.

However, by now I have fixed a few known problems with it, and stripped it off most paint. I still need some parts to do precision tests, once I am done with it I will start painting.

Well that killed my free time this evening. Good read though.

Thanks,

Wes

Looks like a strong-assed lathe, very muscular. Really nice. I couldn't even *think* of starting a project like that!

Looks very solidly built.

They had similar lathes in Russia, called 16K20.

Very nicely done.
