New Lathe

Lee,

I began reflecting on my personal criticism of you and would like to offer my apology. It was not needed, even though it was meant to be private, and unnecessary. It also occurred to me awhile back that it very possible you are bilingual(Malakoff is Russian?). I'm sure if I tried to translate English to Russian I would do a poor job. I attempted to delete ALL of my posts from your thread, but found it impossible. Maybe there is a time limit....I just don't know.
 
Theres a way of getting a hold of Lee. Talk to his wife and she'll tell you how. Like Dave said, it works 9 out of 10 times.

ok, so getting back on track here.....

That lathe looks great! Are you planning on developing a scaled down version of if for people who are only needing something for tipping, re-tapering, cleaning, etc...

yes i am working on that also after the derby ill have more time to finish up some loose ends thanks for asking
 
Received your lathe:

Lee,

Thank you very much for your efforts putting this lathe package together. I can tell you put much thought into it. I received it packed in a crate that would withstand a nuclear blast!

I immediately put your lathe to work on reconditioning 10 shafts and tip replacements. The ability of moving the head stock from one end to the other end of the bed gives you some serious advantages over competitors. Your screw design auto feed works far better than my other well known brand lathe that uses a similar head stock. The variable speed control boxes also perform very well! THIS IS ONE SMOOTH RUNNING LATHE!

I am really looking forward to your taper bar attachment design so I can put your auto feed through the paces cutting shafts! KEEP ME INFORMED ON YOUR PROGRESS!
 
thanks Dave glad you like it and thanks for the feedback i loved your website and the pictures of your trailer very nice looking wish you great sucess with the project enjoy and have fun ....lee
 
Excellent Lathe, Excellent Service!

No problem Lee. You've been great! It's a breath of fresh air to be able to call you on a Saturday or Sunday and not only have you answer the phone, but spend significant time with me. :grin:
