The Home Machinist!

Not seeing anything as for the Lagun steady rest an stop . Anyone have an Idea how much I should ask for them ? I was going to use the money from them to help pay for a 4 jaw chuck and a tool post . I did find parts for the trav-a-dile Im probably going to keep it for now .

Got it and the stop are for a Lagun liberty lathe now the question is how much do I ask for them ? oh I have a trav-a-dial 7a that came with it but it needs a new lens i see them on ebay but 600 bucks seems crazy to me .

Unfortunately the stop doesn't have any part numbers on it . It's pretty nice though all machied actually wish it fit my lathe lol . Really appreciate your help man thanks for the help .

I saw that too 500 seems a bit high what would be a reasonable asking price for the one I have ?

top of the notch to outside edge of opposite flat is 5" 1/4" , its 7' 1/4' from the top of the notch to the center of the inserts . casting numbers on the reast are 0213/180 numbers on the base clamp are 2131 . Its covered in cosmoline don't think it was ever used

got this with a lathe I recently bought looks like 14 or 14.5 swing was going to eBay it but I would like to know what lathe it's for .

After checking the distance from the top of the compound to the center of the spindle it looks like the bxa will be the better fit . So is the Phase II starter set considered to be the better import tool post vs all the others ? The lathe looks to be the same as a Vectrax 14x40 every thing works per...

new guy here hello everyone Picked up a 13x40 gear-head lath last week got an amazing deal on it but I need a tool post . Should I go with a bxa or cxa quick change ?
