What's your thoughts in this lathe?

For a commercial job shop, a quick change gear box makes sense. For a little hobby lathe it's not needed.

I cut, maybe, four different threads in a year with my change gear Atlas. It'll do pretty much anything (inch or metric) and it only takes a couple minutes to change the gears.

ok thanks for the info.

I've seen some threads there on that conversion. Just gotta pile-drive thru all that info.
See you there...

yeah i saw your posts on there too. lots of good info on that forum. luckily the lathe i purchased seems to be 99 percent complete and stayed relatively the same from the early thirties to the late fifties. :thumbsup:
