Since i'm a "little" interested in tools i have an automatic search on the Norwegian equivalent of Craigslist going which everyday sends me all new tools published.
Usually it's a lot of not so nice things, or things which is way to big for me. Most of the time i can exhale and delete the whole ting.
Then last week, up pops a very nice looking Emco Maximat V10P metal lathe. I was thinking to get a "proper" metal lathe floorstandig big one, but considering my new house and the fact i have to establish my workshop in a basement rather than a dedicated building, and the basement is a little hard to get to, this one would've been perfect for me. So i thought about it for a couple of days. It was still there so i called the seller and asked. He still had it. Two bids on it, but he still hadn't sold it. I asked if i could come look at it and we agreed upon yesterday. Yesterday i went and lo and behold; i have a new metal lathe :-D

Here we are:



To further add to the deal, when i decided i would buy it and we had agreed upon a price, the seller asked if i was interested in a vise. I asked what kind and he promptly produced said vise which turned out to be an old Heuer. Just as i was going to make him and offer on it, he said i was welcome to it free and gratis! Result!
Now i'm a very happy camper and if anyone has
any parts or accessories for this and would like to sell them i would be very happy if you let me know!
