Who’s older; You or your lathe?

Not handy but I can take one tomorrow.

That's fine , I'm in at work till then anyway . I'm not sure of the year of my Enco 1340 , but I'm looking for the 3 buttons or lights on the front panel . Mine work , but are kind of beat up .

Okay.

I've got 12 years on my lathe. We're both in pretty decent shape for our age.

I have three that are older Craftsman 1946, Sidney 1940, and my big Niles is 1891 or older. My TOS is 2002. I was cast in 1951, and flame hardend a little further down the line. Mike

1953, 1340 lathe is new, and the 9 x 50 mill is new. I don't know what to think now

My lathe is 2 years old, if you ask my wife, the lathe is older.

Until this weekend I may have had been a contender in the ratio game. This 93 vintage said goodbye this weekend, having restored and rebuilt the below shown 1947 Logan 210.

Since my lathe is a PM 1236-T, a more relevant question might be which is older the invention of the wheel or me.....

Hmmm, I guess I didn’t realize when I asked the question that there would be so many equipment “hoarders”….
