Picked this up for $220 the other day. Nice little machine. It is a Clausing/Atlas, 6" x about 20". Came with a 4 jaw (independant jaw) chuck, pretty new drill chuck and live center. Has the old rocker tool post.

I see you had to replace the switch on your JET mini.

For as much money as they get for their lathes, you would think they would put a little higher quality switch on their machines??:rolleyes:
 
Is that . . .

Is that the piece of equipment that you will use to make the vises on . . ?

I would have thought it would be some sort of vertical type of equipment . . .

Now that is a serious bargain!!!! For a steal like that, you will never feel bad about modifying the heck out of it.:rolleyes:
Now onto an even more serious issue!!!!:eek: It appears that the same bomb that landed in my shop, visited you first!!!!! Shame on you.( and me too ):biggrin:
I was going to play in my shop this weekend, but now I think I'll have a winter clear out first.
After all, 'a clean shop is a safer shop':wink:
 
Very nice find Paul. It looks really clean, and the price was right. The smaller lathes seem like they always fetch the highest prices. You got a good deal on that one.
Thanks for showing it to us.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW John I've been wanting to tell you how much I like your Avatar, Val Kilmers Doc Holiday was his best acting job by far.
 
I'm seriously green with envy. The only used metal lathes I find around here must be made from gold to judge by the prices people ask for them. Now the hard part will be finding time to use it!
