My Newest Project Lathe

This is the latest lathe in the stable. It is a precision 5C turret lathe. It is actually in great condition - just requiring some cleaning, a pulley change, and a little adjustment. It even came with a bar feeder! This should turn out to be a nice little turret lathe.

Metal spinning lathe for sale:

In order to make some shop space for some new machinery, I am offering for sale an extra metal spinning lathe that I really do not need. This lathe is made of extremely heavy cast iron and can easily handle any spinning task that you can ask of it. This is a difficult to find Karle Spin Shop lathe.

It comes equipped with the spinners tool rest, two fulcrum pins, a spinners tailstock, and a spinners live center. It will spin up to a 12" disc of metal. All you need to do is add a motor. Lathe only is supplied as shown - no spinning tools are included.

Price $650. If it needs to be shipped, there will be a $50 crating fee and actual shipping cost added to the price. Payment by money order or cashier's check only. Shipping to lower 48 states in the USA only on this. No foreign shipping as I do not have time to mess with all of the custom forms for international shipping.
