Got a phone call yesterday from my brother-in-law, the company he works for is getting rid of a lathe cheap, like scrap metal prices. I don't know much about it yet but I have one picture of it right now with more to come. I know very little about lathes, I did run one a little bit while I was in High School but that was a 10 years ago. I attached the picture of the machine, I will post more when I get them.
From what I can read in the picture it is a LeBlond Regal Servo Shift, I think it is a 15x30 but I am not positive. Would this be good for barrel work with the right tooling? Also, is a decent machine and a possible weight, I am trying to figure out how I am going to transport it. The company has a front end loader to load it onto my trailer but I am trying to figure out what type of equipment I need at my house to unload it.
Any input would be very helpful as I know many of you know way more about this than I do.
Thanks
