A surprise new addition to my shop

I stumbled onto an auction that a large computer company in the area was having. In the back was a lathe that no one seemed to care about. I took a chance on bidding on the thing and only one other guy was bidding. Well, to my surprise he stopped at $750 buck when I was planning on stopping at $1K for this $9K lathe with over $5K of tooling!!! I won at $800!!!! I am so stoked!!! Once
I get familiar with it, look me up if you are in the area
and need some time on a lathe.
Here is a brochure on the lathe

 

Can I come hang out with you for a few months? You rule.

 

Congrats.You would never get a deal like that at a machinery auction.
I got a good deal on my table saw,at an auction of printing equipment.

 

Congrats bud, thats good karma coming back at you for the generous donation to OldCarPilot and hence the HAMB.

 

Thats a dangerous offer, you know I live less than an hour from you!! I have been back in this part of the world for 15 years now and I am just now building a shop, only 32x30 but at least I will have some place besides a tractor shed to work. Nice score Reggie!

 

Too cool! Nothing better than being able to make stuff "in house"!

 

...........we'll be expecting some "Tech Week" articles in the near future!! Congrats...........

 

Great score Reggie. Guess you will be spendin a lot more time in the shop now.

 

Man, You must be living right! I'll pay you a $1000 and pay shipping to Oregon! NICE SCORE.

 

Great deal! If any one can put it to good use its you!

 

Holy Cow!

Congrats on the score Reggie!

Now we'll all be bugging you even worse than before!

 

They took off for Paso, this morning. We'll bug him when he gets back.

 

SO now you have to create a part we all need, and become a millionare!
