I got a new [But with experience] metal lathe at an auction recently. so I cleaned up and repainted my old one to maske room for the "New Hotness"....here is the Craigslist listing for the old one. It is located in matthews NC [Near Charlotte] https://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/d/matthews-1947-atlas-metal-lathe-machine/7214083917.html This lathe is also "new but with even more experience" than my latest acquisition.
Nice accessories for it. I'd love a center rest. I will attempt to build one this weekend with parts I got front the junk yard. Whats that giant thing on the far right behind the tail stock?
That's what it looks like to me as well. If you look at Myfordboy's youtube channel, you'll see a few similar looking engines.
It is a can crushing machine that I made several years ago. You chuck the shaft in to the lathe chuck and the lathe powers it. Since it is made for this lathe I am letting it go wirth the lathe.
If you look at the photos in the craiglist listing you can see more pictures of it. It is all lost foam castings.
