Ceiling mounted keeps the chips off the machine. Makes for easy cleaning!

A serious lathe with4 "V" ways, at least the one I ran had 4 "V" ways. Although the one I ran was cataloged as a 36" swing with 24 foot centers.

The pictures the right way


That's better back on the floor where is belongs. Nice lathe I ran one just like it at De Laval America Pacesetter beautiful machine,


BTW there are only three "V" ways. The tail stock usually has only on and a flat way.I might add that machine weights a heck of a lot more then #3000

More like double that.
