Yup, I got power. 400 amps 3 phase in the shop. Sometimes I wish I had gone 480, but I didn't This machine is 240/480. Currently it is wired for 240, so that's not going to be a problem. That joystick is a 4 way for feed control, with a button in the middle for rapid traverse. As I recall, the speed range is 85-1600 RPM. I believe it is D1-8. I got that 16" 4 jaw there on the trailer also. Please ignore the qctp, that has to go. I have a better one for it. That one is just kind of sitting there.
I'm not much on collet work, so probably will spend time and money on a steady rest and a taper attachment. But then, I could convert one of the other lathes to collet probably easier.
I think it is Taiwan, although it is marked China. The fit and finish on these Mighty machines is pretty good. I have run a few, including the Comet line of VMC and found no complaint.
More pictures as we go....
I also have about 100 of the loadout. Handed my camera to the mom of the youngster helping me and my brother. Told her to "take a few" pictures.....LOL, she did. I may upload them to a PB account and just give a link. I'll sort them first. Some of them are so close together in time that they could make a flipbook. Maybe she was expecting a disaster! LOL!
