Got a lathe in my basement

Great! What do you have? Mine is a G4003G Gunsmith lathe from Grizzly. It weights about 2,000 pounds and is really nice. I also have one of their cheaper mill/drills, which is a bit of a nuisance. The DRO helped it a lot.

I have a small POS (piece of ....)from Harbor Freight. I intended to bolt on some digital calipers for measuring but never got around to it. Used to have access to a full shop including a Clausing with gap bed and a Hardinge Chucker (my favorite) with Trav-a-dials.
Worked for a while developing a new motor for Servo’s power feed for mills. (cost reduction project using a variable reluctance motor.)
