Now if I can only find a Van Norman #12 around michigan I would be a happy camper. Anyone know of one or wants to sell one?

There is one at auction in Indiana

Click browse by location, click Indiana and voila there are two mills one being a Van Norman and a threading machine. There is also an assortment of interesting looking lathes.

Fred,

I didn't notice it when you first posted your photos but that is a very nice pair of storage shelves built into your machine. Looks factory. I wish that I had those on mine.

He did an great job of framing in the shelving, all level, square and sturdy. Best part its not only pretty but is functional, its a great space saver for all the attachements.

macnrn, thanks for the link......anyone need a K&T beast should buy this and I'll take the Van Norman out of the lot )

Can anyone tell me what these are and what they are for? I got a set of 5 collets......but I cant figure out what these are. A few have threads in the top :thinking::thinking:??

Fred,

I've never seen anything exactly like that before. To me, they look somewhat like unfinished 3AT or 3C collets.

Why rubber bushings necessary? If one is concerned about flexibility, and many appear to be, why would you mount a lathe on rubber? Please enlighten.
