I wish I lived closer to you. Or if you were closed to Atlantic Beach, I'd have my son check it out (his Cutter is in port there for 2 more weeks).

Mapster · May 10, 2012

Monty, you forget who you are dealing with! :biggrin: I am a member of the SW Florida chapter along with Chuck, Mike Redburn and Mike Roux. I have seen this lathe from start to present. From the start Mike and Mike took it and got it in perfect running condition, checked the tolerances, the works. Chuck bought all of the tools he needed to get it set up perfectly. Mike did a great job helping Chuck set up the tailstock DRO, a professional looking job. The lathe is a great little lathe and in PERFECT condition for anyone who wants a lathe that size

I give you my word, it is in great condition

Damn, if I wasn't on my way out the door later today to Florida, where I won't have tinme to get to North Port I'd buy it and sell mine..that is a deal...deal...deal

There was a day, seems like not all that long ago, that this post would have elicited a loud cry of:

ROAD TRIP!!!!
but....

I got married :neutral:

Phunky_2003 · May 10, 2012

That is a dang good deal. Wish I was closer.

IPD_Mr · May 10, 2012

Chuck what is the weight of the lathe?

Russianwolf · May 10, 2012

Think my wife will be upset if I take her tablet back so I can get this? :frown:

The site says 90 lbs. I guess you can figure roughly, a dollar a pound.

Nah go ahead and do that. Report back your findings...... if you can type..:biggrin:

IPD_Mr · May 10, 2012

I just did a quick rate check and 100# is basically $65. Properly boxed and everything would figure about 120# and that is $77. Thinking hard on this one.

Mike, I'm confused. You already have a 9x20...

Dangit! I'm only $599.75 short! If this had come up a couple months ago, I'd have jumped on it!

Of course, if I could sell my vinyl cutter quickly enough...

BigShed · May 10, 2012

That slope just got more slippery Charles!

So which 9x20 did you get?

For-Sale Micro-lux 7x14 VS metal lathe

Chuck, that red HF 9x20 is a workhorse. Of course a few mods makes it much better. Don't forget to find and order extra belts. After 6 years, I just replaced one of mine and now I need to replace the idler gear bushing.

Ray

Marker · May 11, 2012

I will take it......But I will not be able to send the payment until tonight, as I will need to go to the bank first, I will be going about 3:00, I will get back to you once I get back.

thanks
