Hello,

I got this a few years ago and never really got serious with it. It's taking up space in the third car garage now. I know nothing about it.

The keyways are 53" long and the distance from the keyway to the center of the chuck is 5".

What's a fair asking price?

Thanks

That looks like a really nice lathe... where abouts do you live?

I don't know a value but the Quick change gears are something I wish I had and your lathe sure is clean and looks like a rugged model! Have you used it yourself?
