Last week a guy asked me if I wanted a lathe for free - of course I said yes - site unseen.
I went to take a look at the "lathe" today to see what it was.
It's actually a milling / grinding machine of some sort. I only had a minute to look at it but I snapped a few photos. the tag says its 220 - but it has a very small "phase converter" on it & appears to be wired to a 120 circuit. The manufacture is a Taiwan company called SANCO. They apparantley manufacture huge CNC & milling machines but I couldn't find any like this from a web search.
I'm going to take it anyway & I'm sure I can do all kinds of cool stuff with it - just not yet sure what.
The thing weighs a ton so it will be a bear loading & unloading it.
