I have one of the older model Taig lathes with lots of attachments and parts. Bought it at an auction, still haven't set it up. Most of the parts are still packed in the original grease....

Usually walk up the hill and "borrow" my friend's lathe if I need one....

Chris,
Not sure how "local" your local harbor freight is... but we got our 9x20 as a "returned item." Meaning basically someone had bought it, used it once, decided they didn't like it, and brought it back (without the faceplate ). We were asking about details on one and the manager mentioned they had the returned one in the back. Can't remember off the top of my head, but I am pretty sure we got about 25% off because of it being returned and all (without the faceplate ). Otherwise just keep watching the 'bay. One might turn up sooner or later.

Alright Thanks . Moose The only problem with taht is because I was needing to know which one to get so I could save up enough to buy (another words I don`t have 400$ yet)

Thanks,Chris

5. 1800RPM
6. Ship Date: September 24, 1973
7. No extra options are listed.

I just got the aligator clips for the belt yesterday so I think I can be making chips this weekend
