[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2358912, member: 33850"] I am going to look at a lathe (11×36) tonight. It's an older one, but is supposed to have few hours on it. It was owned by an older gentleman for decades as a hobby lathe and then was bought by the person I am going to see tonight. He said his part-to-part repeatability was .001", so I am pretty excited. I was told it has bronze bearings. Not sure if that matters or not, but I don't plan on using it all day every day. It has a pile of tool holders, tooling, quick change holders, change gears, micrometers, steady rest, face plates, boring bar holder, 2 3 jaw chucks, but no 4 jaw. I figure I can make a spider for the chuck end and a cathead for the steady rest. Any thoughts? Is it worth looking at for gun and general home shop work? [/QUOTE]
