    My "new old" lathe

    Good find! It looks just like my Hendey, I'm close by in GA. so maybe they are related! Mine is a 14x36 (36=inches) and my geared headstock looks just like yours. I see you have found some info already. I have a couple pdf manuals and a photo copied manual that you can get for $15 from...

    Thanks for the welcome, guys! Dsquire, You said "You probably have seen most of the site by now" But no, I am not even close! I have many more hours to enjoy here before I catch up. Most of my questions have been answered just by reading the many tips and builds here. This is really a great...

    Hi, I'm new but it now says I have been logged on for a total of 3 days, 18 hours! Time flies when you're having fun! I have never found so many talented and friendly people before. I hope I can give back some help eventually. I worked in industrial electronics for 30 yr. & a few other jobs...
