Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
That thing is worth some coin, in theory. Don't know if they sell for what people ask for usually. But it's a second operation lathe, not something people bother with in a home shop. You have no carriage, only collets usually and no tailstock either. The turret is cool because it makes doing operations quick once you set it up. But it's kind of just a small production machine. Not that cool for doing just about anything you might want to do.

It runs and it comes with the indexing tool holder and a bunch of collets.
I'm probably gonna clean it up and sell it or trade for a sailboat.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I mean you do have a tailstock, i guess. I forget what the tailstock/toolpost/turret thing is called on a second op lathe. Also hardinge is the go to brand for second op lathes. Turret tooling is typically very expensive as well since it is somewhat specialized and you need a lot more different tooling to do things that would otherwise use cheap stuff on a normal lathe. No lead screw so no power feed/threading but it does look like it's a gear head, that's cool I guess.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Also an option is pulling it entirely apart and selling it piece by piece. You can buy a $300 lathe and make like $1000 off it on ebay. People pay retarded prices for shit on ebay. Check this out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TURRET-TAIL...877?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41761e2755
Imagine if you listed that shit with no reserve. It'd sell like GANGBUSTERS.

It always scares me when Carmelo drops knowledge (or at least makes up believable sounding shit) out of nowhere.

Some kid at school asked me if I was familiar with lathes so I could shorten up some shit for him. I was all like "bitch step aside, I MAKE KNOBS" then I blew everyone's mind with my sick lathe skills. Then everyone took turns giving me hour long blowjobs. It was pretty gay.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Nah
But yesterday I checked and thankfully I lost that auction. I however check like a minute before it ended and it was only at like $600. So a REALLY nice mill can be had for like $720(after premium). It was in good condition and had a DRO. I was thinking too, for when I do decide to get one. Maybe I could rent a Uhaul trailer, use the ranger, bring an engine hoist, some pipes and I could probably get it in the shop with myself and one other person, for cheap.
