Correction to heading: Maker/brand of this lathe is ZMM Metalik, Bulgaria.
Just learning about a prospective lathe in my area that looks very promising. Owner inherited it from his father-in-law, an ex-Lockheed machinist, out of his home workshop. Comes with the works - 3 and 4-jaw, faceplate, fixed and traveling steady rests, Jacobs TS chuck, Aloris toolpost w/ multiple holders, new carbide insert tooling, even some unused spare parts. Motor looks like 2.5 hp. Asking price for lot is 1700-
Not sure of much else yet, but will have more pics and get to see it tomorrow. Photo below, will post more when available.
Any feedback on this class of machine, and tips in checking it out would be greatly appreciated.
--thanks!
Dave
