Trying to ID this older lathe
Re: Trying to ID this older lathe
Upon closer inspection, you are correct which is verification we receive from mentors. Two strikes already.. Thanks Harold. I wouldn't want it to go further.
Re: Trying to ID this older lathe
I've read about the CVA, but never seen one. Being so closely copied from the 10ee, I'd expect a lot of the features to be the same. It's amazing how closely the apron resembles that of the 10ee.
There seem to be a lot of guys promoting the removal of the compound lately as a way to stiffen up the machine. Certainly worth a look, I suppose, but if you intend to turn tapers aside from the use of a possible taper attachment, which does appear to maybe exist on the back, I'd guess it would be awfully hard to find one and if it's like 10ee parts, it'll be made of gold if you do.
