Hi guys, I'm looking for a little advice, input and info on the schaublin 70-80 the. I have the opportunity to pick one up, fully tooled with every accessory imaginable.
When I picked up my new lorch lathe, the fella had many high end European machines and this little schaublin caught my eye. But I do have some questions.
First off, is this lathe only useable with the turret? Or could I pick up a cross slide and standard tailstock for it?
Secondly, this IDs a 420v 3 phase machine. IDsthere Any way I could use a single phase in vfd to control it or would I need a phase converter? Or... Could I simply swap out the motor easily?
This machine comes with original cast iron stand and I don't recall where the motor was located on it. I will receive some photos in a day or two but until then I'm hoping you guys can help educate me?
Here's a couple photos of the tags on the machine
