so today I was given an old lathe.
it's not much, in fact it's a lot less lathe than the one I already had, so it's pretty unlikely I'll use it. it's a dunlap from probably the 50's, plain bearing headstock (a bit sloppy), 3 groove pulley, folded sheet metal ways, outboard disk sander with a table with a miter slot. maybe 30" between centers, maybe 8" swing. cool futuristic
50's styling.I'll clean it up. maybe put it on a stand, think about upgrading the bearings and probably not do it, and try to find a kid with a burning desire to turn wood to give it to.
anybody here ever get anything useful out of one of these?
