Well just too good to pass up...$350.00. It came with every acc. that Grizzly offers with it. It has a pneumatic drum sander, flap sander wheel and 8 inch sanding disc attachments. It also come with all the hardware to outboard turn. I also have a simple 4 jaw chuck that came with it. The wife said he bought it and only used it a couple of time and then lost interest in it. It will do 14 inch over the bed, 17 inch over the gap and 19 inch if you turn outboard.

He had all sorts of machinery like a band saw, table saw, two belt sander arangements and a planer. He had some other tools that a friend of the family bought that I didnt get to see. BTW they are going to give me a call when they go through the rest of the hand and power tools so I can email you if you want. The house is in Escalon.
 
Definitely a good buy. Congratulations. You need to clean the rust off the bed and wax it for protection. If you didn't get the owners manual with it, you can get from Grizzly. Learn the quirks of the Reeves drive before you have problems. That is some fine looking turning wood on the shelf.
 
In my books you got a darn good lathe. Congrats. 1495 Griz. My first lathe. Paid $500.00 for mine but no sanding disc. Came with a 8 piece Sorby HSS never used tools & a duplicator that had never been out of the box. Make sure you keep the Reeves drives lubed. It's a solid piece of equip.
 
Nice find!

But you've got some big, brown dust bunnies under it.
You can send them to me and I'll dispose of them for you.

Hey, I'm just that kinda guy..
