Re: Lathe Cart? (NY/NJ/PA)
I have one of these in my basement and it has produced many fine robot parts over the years. Unless you cut a lot of threads, the lack of a quick change gearbox is no big deal.
I would be leery of bringing it to a competition and letting somebody else use it though. The design is from the 1930's (open-belt drive system, etc.) and pre-dates OSHA safety requirements.
I wouldn't recommend selling it, though. Once you have a lathe you'll wonder how you ever got through life without one.
