Craftsman Metal Lathe - $350 (West sacramento, CA)

Craftsman Metal Lathe

I have an old craftsman metal lathe with stand attached. Haven’t had time to clean it up. Need it gone. Motors turn over. Everything moves freely. The power cord needs to be changed out before...

That seems like a diamond in the rough!

Kind of what I thought. It's only a Craftsman, but it looks like at least a 12x36, maybe even bigger.

Some interior designer is going to buy it for the legs and toss the machine.

For comparison purposes have a look at this.
1952 Craftsman Atlas built 12 inch. Owner is asking $1200. Located in McMinnville OR
From the seller "The bed is precision ground far better than the factory did. The saddles were also ground where they fit the bed whereas Atlas only gang mill cut these surfaces. Also has new spindle bearings."

Dang, it's about a mile from my house and I have $350 in my wallet. Don't want it, don't need it, don't have room for it, but sure hard to pass up.

That is where I was last week when I saw one for $300 in Santa Rosa. I sure was glad when the ad was gone by the next morning.

And look to the left of the specimen, there's a cover and maybe a motor mount for another SB or Logan.

The seller also has a 6” Craftsman that he uncrated.
It’s is quite literally brand new.
