Hi Marty,
?
That's a mighty fine looking lathe, do love a lathe. I have a Southbend 9" 1938 vintage and a Colchester (Clausing to you I think) Master 2500, blooming love it.
?
I think i am going to just rub down the existing paint, fill the chips and then paint over the top, probably absolute sacrilege but I have seen the horror stories your talking about with oil constantly coming out of the castings into the primer and I want to actually use the machine before hell freezes over!
?
Thank you again for your advice.?
?
BTW how are things going with your Lagun Mill?
