Tool Gloat Teaser....

[Dale Bright]

I have decided to do a major upgrade from my Jet 1642 2 HP lathe to something with a bigger swing, more HP and better quality. I am picking it up tomorrow and setting it up this weekend, if all goes well. It is a 2 day trip to get it and return but very much worth the effort.

I will post pics asap.

Dale

[Dan Hintz]

Oh sure, NOW you upgrade... couldn't you have upgraded two weeks ago before I ordered my 1.5HP 1642?!! I could have done pickup from VA...

[Ken Hill]

LOl poor Dan:D

I can do a pick up as well hehe:D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Dale - looking forward to seeing what you are upgrading too! As much as I love my lathe - the issue of swing does come up a lot when I rough out a blank!

Safe travels!

[Tony De Masi]

Can you at least tell us what color it is?

Looking forward to seeing whatever it is Dale.

[Tim Rinehart]

Robust AB. When I was considering one, decent option was a trip there to pick up vs shipping charges.

[Alan Trout]

There was a good deal on a Big Oneway in New Hampshire? If I was a betting man that just may be it.

That really changes the game now, doesn't it?
Wonder what the possibility of finding out if new or used?

OK Dale, at least let us know New or Used!:rolleyes:

:eek: Even worse! That means he could have dropped the 1646 off on his way there, snagged some of my money, then continued along to pick up the new one.






Meh, once I get mine set up I'll forget about everyone else's... :p

[Bernie Weishapl]

Ahh, the suspense.;)

Crisp 100's and a few beers but nooooo, make us buy new lathes! :D

Good job Alan, you got it. I am picking up that Oneway2436 system in NH. It can be seen in the want ads section at the AAW site.

My gosh! I saw that thing and it IS a real monster.:eek:
Did you have to do the "package" deal?

[Mark Hubl]

Congrats on the Mayo Monster. Safe travels.

[Mike Cruz]

Oh, Dan and Peter... The first thing I thought of when I started reading this post is how the both of you JUUUUUUST ordered your lathes. poor things...

Will be in Leesburg in the morning.

How much are you looking for? I bought the last one in Purcellville about 18 months ago.

No sure yet, it has some extra tool rests and most likely a vacuum chuck system. I will figure it out by Sunday and post in the classified, here.

Yes, James, I got the whole package and the seller decided to throw in a lot of extras. I will most likely sell off the 60" extension because I do not do many long spindles.

Dale

[Alan Trout]

Dale,

Congratulations. that was a nice buy. If I was closer I might have considered it.

Alan

[Roger Chandler]

That is some lathe! and for the package a reasonable price. Congrats on the pick up.........you will be able to turn most anything with that set up!

[Jon Prouty]

whoa.... that is a LATHE!

Can't wait to see more pics of it.

Jon

[John Fabre]

Dale

Dale,
Can you swing by Utah to drop off the 60" extension on your way back to Virginia?

[Dale Bright]

Dale,

No problem, John, have milk and cookies ready.

Dale

P.S. I am leaving for NH in a few minutes.

[Mike Cruz]

Waddayamean MORE pics? And WHOA? I haven't seen any pics...

check the AAW site classifieds for a pic of this beast.

[Mike Cruz]

Um, yeah, that IS a beast. Wow.

John Keaton needs this thing. It would be perfect for his small HF's. ;)

[Mike Cruz]

Just a quick cell phone pic to show that I got it. I did get the whole package but I will be selling the 60" extension and the dust hood is already sold. Still setting it up and figuring things out.

My friend and I left VA at 0500 on Friday, drove to NH and loaded up, started back and stopped in New Haven, CT overnight and were back home at 1100 Sat morning. It was 1021 miles, round trip.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! Great photo! Looks like it was well worth the trip! Looking forward to reading how well you like turning on it! Have fun!

[John Keeton]

That sucker wouldn't even fit in my shop!! Really sweet!!

[Baxter Smith]

Congratulations!! I watched that lathe on the New Hampshire Craigslist for a good part of the summer. It was a little more of an upgrade than I felt I could justify. Not to mention I didn't know how it would fit in my van! Had to settle for just a New Hampshire 3520A.

[Ray Bell]

Very nice Dale, a lathe to last a lifetime.

[Rich Aldrich]

Congrats Dale. I looked at the ad and drooled. I am glad someone from the Creek picked it up.

It seems like a couple of guys in your area will have just missed buying your old lathe...... who was that again?

[Dale Bright]

Well here is a pic with the big guy in use. I have to finish some 8 & 9 inch bowls for Christmas presents, so nothing too big for a while. The big lathe is great to turn on. This ash bowl was really warped and on my Jet it would have caused a bit of vibration. On the 2436, there was no vibration at any speed, smooth as silk.

I still have some cleaning to do on the lathe and I still have to do some work to arrange my lights but I am very happy with it. It will take some time to get used to the new controls and having all of the bed space is great, lot's of temporary tool storage.

[Mike Cruz]

8 inches? 8 inches?! Did you say 8 inches?1? C'mon, man...You got a BEAST! Utilize it....:rolleyes: :D

Glad you got it home safely. Post more pics of it. We wanna see that whole thing!

Mike,

I will try to post some more pics soon. I do not have the 60" extenesion installed and it is for sale. If you want to turn something big, come on over and we will make shavings.

Dale

[David Reed]

Wow - way cool

[Dan Hintz]

Yeah, that's kind of like purchasing a Ferrari to drive in school zones...

[Tim Rinehart]

Very cool. A big congrats on that one. That's a nice gloat!!

[Rick Markham]

Oneway lathes sure are purdy! Congrats on that beast!!!
