I don’t really want to sell it, but I’m out of space!
Asking $3900 or best offer.

Nice Webb/Whacheon Mori Seiki gap bed lathe
17” swing, 24” swing in the gap
40” between centers
3 jaw chuck with reversible top jaws
Roller type steady rest
Original toolpost, heavy duty 4 way (I may have an Aloris CXA available for additional money)
Headstock is nice and clean and sounds good.
Approximately 4200 pounds
Needs a couple simple fixes: replace carriage pinion gear (I am including the new pinion gear), small damage to compound that does not affect performance.
If I get time to do the fixes myself, I will revise the price up accordingly.

It makes chips just fine!

I prefer buyer handles moving the machine, but I could deliver locally for additional fee to cover trailer rental, gasoline and time. It will be way less than what a rigger charges.

I own the exact same model lathe, it is a well made and very capable lathe. For my home shop, it’s a beast.
 
Answering some questions:

Spindle through hole diameter is 2.125”

Moving machine:
For riggers, I recommend All Machinery
Moving in San Jose. John is a good guy with good rates.
DIY: rent a hydraulic drop deck trailer and use skates and/or heavy duty pallet jack and heavy duty ratchet straps. I can help load. I have a come along and a chain hoist to help pulling the machine.
I don’t have a forklift, but can rent one (buyer pays).

I have the manual and the parts list for the lathe and they will be included of course.

Someone is coming to look at the lathe and pick it up on Thursday unless I get a better offer before then.
