That's gotta have high cueball squirt unless you bore the end.

I was thinking of making dozens of joint protectors or butt caps on it.

lathe

at least shipping would be cheap and it is easy to move around!!!!!!

 

[olsonsview]

with the price of scrap being high

yah think they would take advantage of it! It is a shame to see a production tooth pick lathe being sold off though!

I sold one very similar not too long ago. Not enough industry left in my area to keep it busy.

For $300, that's a steal!!! but if I turned it on, all the lights would go out in my city

For $300, that's a steal!!!

At $180/ton that 9000 lb lathe has a scrap value of about $810. I'll stick out my neck and say that's where it will end up, as scrap.
