another freebie from the family. got this from my grandpa.
A table-top lathe.

its pretty old. from the 80s. but it does get the job done.
just puttin that out there incase anyone wants something turned. so fair i can do simple operations facing and such. wont beable to do any boring until i get a new boring bar and possibly a set of reamers.
i CANT turn threads yet so dont ask. it came w/ no powerfeed or thread attachments. i have to find these online or something. i can still cut most threads manually w/ taps and dies.
but now between harry and me, we basically have a machine shop. ie mill, drill, and lathe.
run any ideas by me or harry as far as custom work goes. we love to tinker w/ stuff.
