Not a bad price for one in such nice and complete condition. I had one (0000), but never put a motor on it before I finally sold it. It was beautifully made, and not anything like a toy. Even tiny machines take up space it you have too many of them.

I have seen a couple of slightly larger horizontals and a vertical. They are extremely rare.

Thanks for sharing that Bob, pretty little thing and very substantial for the size.

Looks like the perfect size for a child, yes.

For some reason I WANT that thing and a Hardinge BB2V to go with it!

How about a smaller lathe to go with it?

Mac - you always use a 5th wheel to haul machinery around? Is this a shoebox lathe?


This Craigslist machine has been for sale quite a number of times over the last few months - no takers yet?

Yeah I saw it the other night too and was blown away with the pencil being 2/3 the length of the table! I bet it's a good mill for it's size.

Wish I had a chance to see it before the listing was removed. Did anyone grab the photos and can post them here?

Tony has you covered. If you don't know about his site yet, you are in for a treat. Go explore his Alladin's cave of small machinery information.
