Yam Lathe 13" - $750 (Santa Fe Springs)

"Owner retiring, great value"



Tell me this thing hasn't been through a fire... If so, it's amazing that the seller wouldn't even mention it, and depending upon the heat of the fire, it may well be warped/damaged beyond repair. Whatever was in the chip tray was apparently flammable. One can only wonder. Motor/electrical fire? Magnesium? Iron/Aluminum dust? Or just someone throwing a lit cigarette into a chip tray full of plastic shavings? Regardless, what a shame.

What, You never heard of flame hardened ways? I thought it was a highly sought after feature.

Either a fire, or it sat next to a vat of hydrochloric acid for a couple decades. Or in one.
