I bought a taig Micro Lathe II Kit with the spindle bore that allows putting a shaft through it earlier this year. A friend seemed interested in doing his own shaft work and I was interested in putting it together, given that's what you do with that kit. He ended not wanting it, and I kind of like it but I just don't have room for and don't need 2 lathes. Was going to sell the larger one but decided against it.
So this one is the kit (.593 bore headstock, bed and carriage) with a new 3 jaw chuck and pulleys for a 2L belt.
It also has a variable speed dc motor I pulled off a small band saw a long time ago along with some plywood steady rests for the back (for doing tips) and the front for spinning, waxing etc. the shaft.
If someone could pick it up in CT I'd take 300.
If anyone is interested I can send a video of it running, it actually works pretty well for what it is.
