Sindey Lathe

Unless something goes south we will be getting a 16x? Sidney lathe.  The lathe has been sitting outside and will need a fair deal of TLC prior to going into service.  The current owner purchased it for his own use, 3rd lathe, but never got around to installing it.   He is a good machinist so I expect he would not have gotten it if it was in bad shape.  Outwardly it shows little wear or abuse.

Today we picked up the lathe.




The chip pan is quite bent up.   But it was the only good way to move the lathe with a fork lift.  And it is the way it was done last time so no new damage.
