TOS lathe in western Canada

[Chipper5783]

I'd love to play with a decent size heavy pattern machine. I've a respectable assemble of iron. I very rarely find the existing kit lacking (I can usually figure out a way to get my projects done).

So what, I'd still love to run a bigger heavier machine - just making chips!

lewey, I am in love with a 1982 LeBlond 15 X 60 Regal Servo Shift lathe. It looks like it came out of the showroom yesterday. It has a Enco 6" 4-way toolpost that indexes 12 positions, and properly tooled is very rigid and fast - a dream to use. It is wayyyy more rigid than an Aloris C sized QCTP (sorry guys), but every tool must be set up to hit center when installed. It has Pratt Bernerd chucks; it has seen about 500 hours total, so ti is just about broken in...
