Good evening, a couple of weeks ago i found this exotic piece of machinery. It's a Russian Izhmash 1I611P -82
I knew right away i wanted it so i persuaded the owner to sell it to me. This is not a wery common machine outside of Russia but it seems that some was shipped to Sweden during the 80:s as payment for other machinery sold by Alfalavall. My lathe seems to be one of these since it has a Profila brand sign ( imported Ussr machinery )
I made some research and found out it was made by the large weapon manufacturer Izhmash.
Unfortunately there was a accident during transport ( i was not involved ) and the machine was damaged, so this tread will be about me trying to repair and restore it.
Under the surface rust and dirt its almost like new, it's most likely not used much and has only suffered from neglect and cold / humid storage.
