Hello everybody, I have recently been left this lathe and was wondering anybody could help me with a bit of info about it.
I am new to metal lathes and have only used the most basic of lathes before and this one is all a bit daunting.I have done a search but dont seem to be able to find any information about the company that made it never mind the lathe itself. It is a Naerok model number SSB-5EK, it seems to be decent lathe it has thread cutting capabilities in metric and imperial, I will try and include some photos. It seems to have some cables coming out the back and it also came with a section of the same cable in a box of bits i got with it.
Any information on this lathe would be much appreciated, as i said before I am new to metal turning and know nothing about this lathe so any information will help. I am thinking of maybe selling this and getting something new and smaller as i will mainly be using it for very basic metal turning and turning acrylic rods so if anybody could give me an idea of how much it is worth it would be very helpful. The total size of the lathe is around 900mm in length and the turning capacity is around 400mm if that is any help.
Sorry to be so demanding on my first post hopefully I can add more to the forums as I get more experienced.
Many thanks
