[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3063310, member: 116439"] Those SB Lathes are very GOOD. This is going to be a KILLER GS Lathe. The first thing I would do is give it an extreme cleaning. Change out all the oils and oil/grease all the needed locations Then get some really good Leveling feet for either permanent in your concrete floor or good mounting feet. If you don't have an extremely secure mount, you will have issues forever. after getting a good mounting system you will need to get it leveled properly. After that you will need to check alignment of your tooling. If you have the FAGON DRO you need to get that adjusted think your model has a 2"+ bore so you can do bigger barrels no problem. You will have a very nice Killer GS LATHE!!! You will want to get tool posts, lots of tooling cutters another Spindel or two. When you start to get it in place and cleaned up and put together give us a call and we might be able to get you some tooling at discounted prices. You will need a good inventory of specialized tools gauges, calipers. measuring equipment& fixtures for chambering a barrel. and to cut the Tenon and threads. Your new machine can do it all with the right operator. We don't know how much you already know about chambering, but there are some really good people that can help out along with this. I have some training videos and if you want to take a refresher course on chambering. I am sure you will get more than your money's worth from Bob and have a GREAT time doing it. In the meantime getting you lathe cleaned and then hooked up with power will be fun. [/QUOTE]
