Beautiful rebuild. That gentleman has much more patience (and skill) than I.
Kevin Gallimore - slinking off downstairs to his SB with some original
paint.
Ditto. I admire the author tremendously.
I will not disassemble my lathe. I know how it will end up.
However, by now I have fixed a few known problems with it, and
stripped it off most paint. I still need some parts to do precision
tests, once I am done with it I will start painting.

Well that killed my free time this evening. Good read though.
Thanks,

Looks like a strong-assed lathe, very muscular. Really nice.
I couldn't even *think* of starting a project like that!

Looks very solidly built.
They had similar lathes in Russia, called 16K20.

I believe that a 16x40 inch 16k20 weighs almost three metric tons.

Very nicely done.
