This is a metric lathe, dials, lead screw, etc. here is my posting I have in the ATL Craigslist.
I have a 1968 Okuma LK manual lathe for sale. Model 1527 - 5HP. It still has original paint, a coolant system, BNIB Bison 4 jaw chuck (is included in price) and can work out a few accessories for the right deal. I also have the manual and parts lists.
The lathe is currently set up and running on 220 3 phase with a rotary converter and can be ran before purchase. I do not have a way to load this on your trailer so please plan accordingly. I can however, get the lathe moved to my level concrete driveway and you can load from there. Nearest I can tell, the lathe weighs @ 3500#'s.
It may be a 1968 model but it runs as smooth as a sewing machine... it is unreal how these old machines run so smooth and will outlast anything new in production these days.
This is a metric lathe, meaning metric dials, lead screw, etc... it will cut inch threads by leaving the half nuts engaged, no need for change gears or swaps but you do have to leave the half nuts engaged. It has not been an issue for me even with threading close to the chuck. It’s just something you need to be aware of.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions or you would like to set up a time to inspect the lathe.
Price is $5900 OBO.
