Remodeling a woodworking shop in J-Town and have no need for a lathe of this size. "The Porter" is a 7' Industrial 4 Speed Lathe. The machine is in working order, and comes with 12", 16" and 36" tool rests, as well as a stabilizer and a set of turning tools. Please make an offer in email.

That surly would be nice to have if I ever get a building for all of us.

It did not say the swing of it but I am sure it would not move with a big bowl.

As of this time I am now teaching vets again.  If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet..  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

If anyone bought that he would have to build the shop around it, would need a major crane to move it.

Porter made good stuff. Looks like that is a wood bed lathe, like a big Conover lathe. Put 4x4's under each leg pair, rent Rol-a-lifts to put under them and you are in business.

I've got a similar sized lathe out in the barn. It will take 8 ft. length. The ways are 2 C channel iron. Angle iron legs. All welded together. Double and single tool rests. Stepped flat belt pulley on the head stock. Needs a flat belt pulley on the motor and a belt.
Anyone interested?
