Bit of a video on my Sieg C6 Lathe (Grizzly G0516 in the U.S, Hare & Forbes AL-60 in Australia) showing a few small mods that I have done to it, thanks for looking.
Seems that you and I have the only models of this lathe on this forum. Mine has been sitting in the back of my van for three months as I bought an engine crane to shift it into my shed, but the crane is too wide to go through my gate so I am in the process of putting castors on the base of the lathe to move it. Turning in the back of a van is a little cramped but it is portable.
Thanks for the info Jim. Here is the POS semi quick toolpost that came with my [second hand] lathe. Useless. I will visit Hare & Forbes when I have the lathe properly set up. Thanks again,
Thanks for posting the video. I have an old atlas 618 lathe but I will try to remember some of your mods. The Esso sticker brings back memories. they changed to exxon over here. My dad used to buy his gas at an Esso station when I was a kid, I have gray hair now.
