Not sure if this is the correct forum. I am reposting this from the 9x20lathe group on YAHOO. This is not me, I am just trying to help out if someone needs a metal lathe.

My hobby has grown to the point that I'm gonna have to snag a bigger machine. I have had this lathe for about twelve years and have a few hundred hours on it. It has served me well and I hate to sell it but it has to go to make room for the new 12x36 It has had the following done to it Completely disassembled when I got, all parts deburred and all settings verified cleaned lubed and reassembled before I ever plugged it in Used 70% moly paste to lube anything metal to metal and Spindle bearings replaced last month with class 5 headstock bearings. Ball bearing compound mod. super smooth even with the gibs tight. 5 Inch back plate trued to zero on spindle. 5 inch three jaw chuck with inner and outer jaws. Holds less than a .0005 at 2 inches from chuck. Mounted and leveled on nice homemade heavy steel stand since it came out of the crate. Phase II toolpost that allows 3/16ths to 1/2 inch tools to be used. Comes with 2 holders and knurling tool. New belts Faceplate, steady and follow rest, Dead centers, Live Center, all feed and change gears 4 inch three jaw chuck I have lapped and scraped all the ways Headstock and bed were well aligned so I didn't have to touch the bolts on the headstock 4 Bolt compound clamp made from 1/2 inch steel. 2 inch thick steel plinth for heavy jobs that don't need the compound Clutch mods done to make clutch more reliable. Switch in front panel so you don't have to reach over the chuck to turn it on and off. Drill chuck for tailstock Spare parts included: 1-Feed Rod 1-Worm gear 2- sets of Bronze half nuts 1- tailstock quill 1- tailstock feed screw 2- 80 tooth plastic gears 1- cross slide nut that mounts under plinth 1- cross slide feed screw 1- new motor in box All parts are new and still in package None of these parts on the lathe are worn. I'm a nut about keeping spares on hand when you may have to wait on a slow boat from china to finish a ten minute job. I'll take 1000.00 dollars and I can guarantee you that's half of what I have in it. I'll throw a few tools in and some cutting tools to get you started and spend a couple hours with you if you're new to manual lathes. I live in central oklahoma and can meet someone out to 50 miles but why not come buy and run it yourself if you're close to OKC It's one of the quietest you'll find because the gears are moly coated " have a buddy at HPC coatings" NO rust or bad spots anywhere and it won't need anything except someone to run it. Thanks Gene 405-448-1422 anytime between 8 am and 10 pm central time I will ship it but you would have to make all arrangements to load it. Just had shoulder surgery so can't help load.
