If your really serious about getting a lathe at firesale prices keep your eye on Crown Assets Disposal.

Now I have another frigging site to check daily along with the multitude of others....sheeesh!...lolOriginally Posted by SeanMP

Remember! Blue side up.
Ahhhh! crap man...why did you tell me about that place. I'm looking on there and thank the lord most of the stuff i've seen so far is on the other side of the planet. I should'a never started this thread...lol...omg

Remember! Blue side up.
I think the item beside the steady rest (which mounts on the bed) is a "follower rest" (which mounts on the carriage) and is used for things like knurling (or threading?) on a long, flexible shaft.... hard to tell from the photo, but that's my guess....
BTW, Sean, my Atlas has a quick-change gearbox....

Yes now that you mention it it does look like a follow rest.
Ya a quick change is awesome Bob....I can REALLY appreciate because I have to work on both a manual gearchanger and the other that I posted this summer with the quick box....Love that gear changer

So knowing what you do now, what lathe would you guys purchase if you were to get one now? Links and pics appreciated of course!
Confucious says: He who slings mud, often loses ground!
If I was willing to wait I would cruise Crown assets and school disposal.So knowing what you do now, what lathe would you guys purchase if you were to get one now? Links and pics appreciated of course!
If I wanted instant gratification I would head straight for Busy Bee.....hopefully buying a model that happened to be on sale. You can't beat sheer mass when it comes to engine lathes and the Chinese use lots of cast iron.
