I'm excited. New to this forum, new to this lathe. I've worked with lathes back in the day as a child in school. Lathes are my favorite machine. This will be my first lathe, if I get it, which I most likely will.
Its a 9A and I think the bed is 3 to 3.5ft. Its a small one, which is perfect for me as most of the stuff I'll be doing is pretty small. This lathe comes with a whole bunch of extras, tooling, chucks, table, a rebuild kit, etc.
I plan on dismantling the entire thing to do a complete rebuild on it before I do any work with it. I'll have questions.
My first question has to do with grinding the ways. Anyone know of a good machinist in NJ that will grind lathe bed ways? Anything else I should have the machinist do to the machine?
Thanks.
