at the next door auction. It's a 36"x12" Craftsman with the MT1. It's either 8 or 9 yrs old according to the Family but it was only used a time or two. I got the bench it's setting on & a 5 piece Craftsman lathe tool set for $55. :biggrin: Caint complain about this deal!! :wink:
Looks like a nice find there Hamer
What ya need one that big fer
He's gonna start spinning aluminum for nonfolding aluminum folding chairs.
Seems like a REALLY good deal to me. Are you sure you didn't just bid on the tools? That price seems a little better for the tools than everything. Nice catch.

Bill-- I just wanted it for my wood shop. You never know. I might want to build a tall table. :laf: :laf:
Jim-- :roflmao: :roflmao:
Jerry-- It was toward the end of the auction & folks just weren't bidding as well. I hadn't bought anything up to that point so I had a few bucks in my pocket yet. When the auctioneer said lathe/table/tools "as one" I really became interested. Know what I mean? :eyebrow: I figured at least double the amount I paid so I was a bit surprised. It all needs cleaned up but thats minor.
Good deal! You made out quite well I would think. Lots of possibilities with something like that. Hope you get years of enjoyment out of it!

That's cool ! :yoyo:
HaMeR, I have one just like it that a friend gave me a few years ago, but it's missing the motor . Could you me let me know the RPM of that motor soz I could try to find one ? man I would really appreciate it !!! :thumb2: I also have another Craftsman lathe that I have never used but I dont think it is as good as the older ones.

securpro-- The side cover shows max motor size as 1/2HP & 1725RPM's.
Thanks HaMeR ! like I said I have had one of these for quite awhile and have never been able to use it . I have several motors around ,now I can match it up and see what comes of it. :yoyo:
