All, I’m a first time poster. I found this site while searching for my first lathe. I have a budget of $3000 for the lathe and want the ability to turn some larger material than permitted by new American (in my price range) or import lathes in this price range.
I ran across an L&S 16” 1918 (per the seller) for $2,500. I *think* it’s a 5HP unit but that is being verified at the moment.
I have not been able to find much in the way of reviews, specs or gotchas for this lathe. I was hoping I could receive feedback, tips, opinions, etc from the crowd here.
I will need to run it on 220, single phase VFD. Below are the only pics I have.
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
