It’s a 13x40 and just a few pieces of tooling came with it.
I’ve been looking for one for many moons. I just happened to check the purple wave auction a day before the auction closed. They must have had a brief auction listing.

The lathe is the inexpensive part.
Now you need all the extra lathe chucks, cat heads, tool holders, rests, indicator bases, indicators, measuring tools, cutting tools, centers, drill chucks, grinders for tool sharpening, and good toolboxes to store them in.
An in the end, its worth it....

Cat heads?
Man.....
I got my first taste of running a lathe in 9th grade, was working as a Tool & Die Apprentice before graduating high school, tested out of 1st year of apprenticeship schooling, and for the life of me, I am drawing a blank on the cat heads! Lol
Is the lathe 3 phase, 240v, or are you going to use a VFD or rotary phase converter to run it?
I’ll have to drop your wife a note!!
Nice lathe! I'm jealous.
If I go before you, they’re all yours
It’s a 2 hp 3 phase.
This is the part I’m researching and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I’m leaning towards a TECO Westinghouse VFD but would definitely like to hear some feedback on what to chose.
