Just picked up a BC AMES benchtop precision lathe and assorted collets end mills, chucks and face plates.
Could only find one on the web that even comes close. It's on ebay. This was a personal lathe for a NASA engineerwho moved to Or. from Va. when he retired. He recently passed and family needed it out of garage for new house owners. I think my recent acquisition phase is coming to an end. This makes the HF 6" cross feed vice for the drill press and their black tool chest slip from favorite new tool status to 'yeah they really help but check THIS out' realm. Now if I can figure out a way to mount it on the back side of my SB 9" (look alike) and run them both off the same (VOS?) motor I'll have a tool room and a precision lathe hotrod won't I?
