Paint stripper, sand paper, and some elbow grease have this stand almost ready to paint...

Could not help myself..did a closer look at the table and took a few more shots.  Can not find a mark on it bit appears to be very well made.

As expected the radii tool from previous post is too big for my lathe...solution...start looking for bigger lathe:)

A few finds from Dempsey and Co visit this morning.  Needed a tilting table so that worked out well. Convex radii tool was a bonus althought not sure fits the lathe yet.  Will try that out later.

Tilting table is a nice 12x8 with what looks like a swivel base.  Will clean it up and post updates.

Looks like snow inside and out today.  Did a fair amount of squaring on the mill today.  Used fly cutter and an end mill.  Still getting used to fly cutter ... getting bit ground right has been most of the challenge.  Mill size a bit if a challenge as well.

Just cuz I wanted to expand my limited lathe experience so what the hell. Learned about turning and boring aluminum as well as parting.

Always a great time visiting Liberty Tool Co

Some more pics just inside the shop.  Got unloaded with help of come along and pry bar.  Motor is 3/4 hp 3phase and gearbox assembly is in great shape.

Starting the shop rearranging tomorrow!

Picked up a lathe this weekend. Well, almost.  Deposit down, pickup this weekend.  It is a Sheldon XL 56 P.

Good working order, gears all good, ways in great shape and was able to view it cutting.  More pics when I get her home.

Got pedestal completed after much stress over height considerations.  Ended up going a few inches below my elbow.

Next step: commit to a spot on the shop floor and bolt her down.
