Cummins Industrial 7" X 12" Lathe

[Dask62]

Found this on an auction.
Does anyone have any experience with these and what would be a good price for this lathe and the accessories.

Thanks

I have an older Speedway that sold by Cummins. All the 7x10's, 7x12's and 7x14's are made by the same company now. Mine was good right out of the box except for some chatter. I did the cone bearing upgrade and it got rid of almost all of the chatter. I will take care of the rest as I finish my bed extension.
I paid $250 for mine new some years ago without the extra accessories.

I'm guessing that the Cummins of Cummins Diesel is an entirely different company than the Cummins of 7 X 12" lathes.

yes different company. I also made a slight error before. My lathe was sold by Homier. But they are all made by same company. Just different color paints.

Is that rust on the ways? I'd be careful if there's some pitting.

That could be cosmoline. Mine was coated with it when I opened the box. I think they do that because they come over on a ship and the salt in the air would rust em up quick.
