im looking into an old summit-16 lathe. cant seem to find a lot of info on it, which makes me somewhat nervous. im on a tight budget and the price is right, but i dont want a perpetual project. the only identifiers on the machine are the UCIMU badge, with the first four digits, the last digit is half hidden under a rivet on the badge.
is this a machine i should be afraid of? dont want to keep throwing money at something. its not much to look at, but if would fill an empty spot in my shop nicely.
