New Old Tools are Best.



  So I have been on the search for a little lathe for some time.Tony took his back to his cave and since I have had to sneak in and use the one at work. So Today I jump on Craigslist and here it is. 60's Craftsman Hobby lathe. All modes work and we are off and running. Came with a few extra bits but no live center. So I will set it up this weekend and take some time and learn my Mo sheen like I should. Pretty helpful to have the parts book and instructions. 200 bucks well spent.

  1. My grandfather and I both had one of those machines. He made clock and watch parts on his. If you go to www.homeshopsupply.com you can find a lot of parts and info...
