[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 387228, member: 18377"] I finally got the chance to go and look at the lathe. Here is what I know about it for now. I couldn't find the Model # on it so if anyone can tell me were it is located I would appreciate it very much. I do have the book with me though and it says that it is a LRT model and the owner says it is a 60 inch lathe. It really looks to me like it will do just about all I would need . The Spindle Speed Selector Dial is very readable and turns down to the lowes setting at 37 . So would this be plenty low enough to cut the threads very nicely or would you prefer something slower ? It will cut left handed threads and 3 different tipes of threads as well . I'm no machinest so I can't remeber what the tag said on the Lathe. He started it up but we didn't cut anything, that will happen when I go back next time. The Quick change thread panel is in very good condition everything can be read. The spindle bore is 1 3/4 . Will this work with the barrel blanks from say Hart, broughton and others ? Overall the machine looked very well it is ran by 3 phase though the guy had the slickest rig i've ever saw to convert it to 3 phase he had a little electric motor that was mounted on a plate made by him and he would use a special belt to get this bigger electric motor turning and once it did he would lift up on the plate and off the belt would come and he was flipping swithches . I don't know if I've made this understandable but I thought it was kind of neat. Oh I almost forgot It has a 3 Jaw chuck and a 4 jaw chuck and it also has a tper with it as well. So, what do you guys think ? Am I missing something ? What would a Lathe like this cost ? Thanks for the help BigBuck [/QUOTE]
