I just got back. I feel like I won the lottery!

The tailstock looks like mt2, but I can't tell for sure since the live center he had in there is in really tight and we couldn't find the bar to pop it out. (No back the quill up eject.)

But I honestly can live with that... The lathe also came with a Delta duplicator (big heavy cast iron thing) and a mobile base and stand! The dupe alone is worth more than the $100 I paid him!

It's in the truck right now, I'm back at work (church) so I'll take pics and such when I get home tonight.
 
Congrats !!!! good luck with it , may it serve you long and faithfuly . If it is an MT tailstock without auto eject , take an open end wrench that just fits the quill and stick it between the center and the tailstock housing and back the quill into the tailstock . The wrench will act as a spacer and the center should pop out . A friend has an old craftsman without the ejector and that's how we got his out .
 
Sure LOOKS like my lathe!!!!

Several thousand pens younger though.

Treat it well and it will treat YOU well--at least MINE has--and continues to make pretty good pens!!

Have fun!!
 
Actually, I'll probably steal the motor from that cman and use it for my drum sander I'll be building when my new table saw gets here.

Man, it's almost like I could afford real tools or something!
 
Slightly less gloatworthy, but still gloatworthy.

It uses the split pulley to change the speed (It's a 46-700 12" variable speed), and the outboard side pulley is sheared off. So when I did my quick check at the guy's house, it ran fine. I didn't try to adjust speeds or anything because I wanted to look for a manual or something before I started screwing with it. Once I screwed with it I discovered it didn't matter what speed I set on the lever... The belt was riding on the shaft! LOL!

Anyway, $50 part from ServiceNet, but I just posted a wanted over on OWWM to see if I can get it cheaper first. heh
 
Here's the part that's sheared off. You can see the center of that pulley beneath the brass insert on the bearing side.

Don,

You can download manuals and part lists--if you have trouble finding it, let me know.

Also can order parts easily, but they are sometimes pricey.

If you have any difficulties, let me know (PM), I'm sure I wrote down the info somewhere and could find it, if necessary.
 
Yeah, I've got all the books. (OWWM For The Win!) Dewaltservicenet has the pulley part I need for $50. I was hoping someone had one used for cheaper, but no responses over there as yet. If nothing by tomorrow I'll go ahead and order it from DWSN.

I also found the manual for the duplicator. Sweeeeet....
 
No worries, thanks anyway.

I'm ok with paying the $50 ($65 after shipping and tax. Ack!) I'm still ahead of the game with this lathe.

Now I need to figure out the duplicator. I wonder if I can use a carbide bit and use it on aluminum or brass. Hmm...
 
I'm always THAT guy that calls the hour after you have it in your truck and halfway home. The seller say something like "The guy that bought it seemed like he liked it and really needed it, so I knocked off another $25!

Dang, NICE FIND. I believe you can still get the manual from Delta for free!
