Anyone ever seen, used, or heard of this 1981 WT TD-4A 10x24? WT is basically Tida from what I gather but went belly up in the late 80's? still trying to find info on this and if it has any usefulness as I am looking for a "small" mid size. 1 3/8" spindle which is the primary reason I want it other than it being for sale locally...Manual or at least one like it... http://www.wttool.com/common/manuals/Td4A-5A_op-manual.pdf
What should I be looking for other than wear/backlash issues? anything that was "known" to be an issue? Taiwanese lathes are usually pretty good to go!
But assuming it's a clone what parts would match up? JET looks similar but are outside of my realm!
If I can get in touch with the seller what is a decent price assuming everything is in order? Comes with some tooling, jaws, and a 3 jaw also.
The lathe has to be in it's prime just like me it was build the same year! haha
Thanks in advance!
