Got Our Lathe In!

Making chips is a good time! Nice looking lathe, Dustin.

Thanks Dave. I lose myself working the lathe. Time just flies by. I find it very relaxing.

Steve at Cold Hand Arms asked me to convert a 9mm AR-15 barrel in to a 9mm barrel for his new PPSH-41. Here are a few pics.

Wow, nice lathe. I've never seen one that clean before. Can we get a pic in about 6 months time ?

1+ on that, My 13 inch lathe looks like it took on 10 years in just a few months since I bought it, they get greasy fast.

Hahahhahaaaaa! No, I do not know anything about that sorta stuff... nope. Nuttin!

 

[338Shooter]

It will stay at least that clean. I really don't like how dirty it is now.

You can keep one clean, but you must commit to cleaning up it up after every day of use, at least. A good wet-dry shop vac will do you wonders. It also helps preserve the look of your machine. Rather than wiping and rubbing the sharp chips around scraping off the paint slowly, it just sucks them up. Coolant is usually the worst enemy of paint, though. Softens it up over time...
