Setting up a BIG Lathe

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

As there was quite a bit of interest in the delivery of CEE’s new lathe last week I thought you may like this video which popped up on my TouTube today.

Slightly smaller version but this one does have the big spindle bore and some other interesting features, like air chuck, turret tooling and what makes a Gibraltar tool post look like a toy.

“Oh dear! You haven’t gone and wasted your money on that far-eastern rubbish, have you? Why on earth didn’t you wait until you could afford something better? There will be sand in the castings, none of the surfaces will be square and the electrics won’t last five minutes, you mark my words!”

Everything that was said to me over forty-years go by at least two people who thought they knew about these things. They must be turning in their graves!
