I bought it from a guy north of Barrie , he was a hobby train guy , built steam engines that you can ride on , passed away sudden , so his wife sold it , I got a truck load of tooling with it , came with a new digital read out , a new single to 3 phase convertor , 2 - 4 jaw chucks , 2 - 3 jaw chucks , a Jacobs chuck , a big grinder on a stand , cabinet full of cutting , drilling , dial indicators , over 60 end mill bits , boring bits and lots of tooling I do not even know what it is for , I have never run one , so hoping one of the local colleges will have some night courses this winter , I have a nice little bench top atlas that I have never turned on that going to sell , just picked up a nice knee mill with auto feed , and a cutting fliud pump , funny thing I have never ran any of these tools , but always wanted to . I paid 800.00$ for the lathe and all the tooling and other equipment that came with it.not the knee mill.Hi Rick,
Sorry I do NOT have experience with that make, but I am surprised that no one here has responded.
Somebody here must have had one at some point.
Here's one site with some info:

Did it come out of a local business? (I did a couple summers at Stegg Ltd. in Belleville, and there was (is?) a small machine shop just North of Foxboro Senior Elementary School.)
Perhaps you could drum up some responses with pictures. (not sure if you need a minimum number of posts before you can post pics though...)
Do you have any specific questions or concerns?
Many lathes are very similar with only a few makers and then badged differently.
Most controls and operations are identical between most makes.
