<div>Subject: [crw-talk] Vintage/antique lathe and chisels for sale</div><div><br /></div>

<tt style="word-wrap:break-word"><div class="plain_line">Good morning CRW members, a guy from Fountain City contacted me about an old lathe he wants to sell. It is a Walker Turner brand, probably 1950’s-1960’s and probably has a 6” swing, with a cutout near the headstock for bowl turning, about a 36” length bed, cast iron ways and a box full of things such as the tailstock etc. It has a long, perhaps 18” tool rest. It has a perhaps 1/2 HP motor with a step pulley/Jack shaft setup for multiple speeds. The headstock has ball bearings with no wiggle. Pretty small diameter headstock shaft maybe 3/4”, so not a setup for heavy cross grain things we like to make. An ideal backup for your Beal Buffing system perhaps. If you want to restore an old machine this just might be your project. It is missing a step pulley.</div>
<div class="plain_line">He also has a cardboard box half full of Buck brand gouges and chisels, old as the hills and I don’t have a clue what kind of steel they would be, they did not have rust. (One roughing gouge was duller then my garden hoe, unless it was sharpened you could use it for burnishing!) He wants to sell the tools separately.</div>
<div class="plain_line">Now, if restoring a lathe is not your cup of tea, he has a 1964 Jaguar XKE, one that the hood is half the overall length of the car. Faster then greased lightning, I nearly wrecked one something over 50 years ago. Zero to 80 in no time.</div>
<div class="plain_line">I did not ask a price on the lathe nor the tools and if you are interested contact him directly. Mike Mrachek, W790 Wagner Rd, Fountain City WI, land line phone 608-687-3038.</div>
