Harbor freight mill and lathe question
20 years ago I went on a machinery buying spree....bought a 50 ton Buffalo iron worker that made Model A Ford parts, got a rare 5 axis manual mill that was in the belly of a Navy ship, a Peck and Stowe jump sheer, a Chicago finger brake and a Delta 24" drill press with a two speed gear box and more.
All vintage US made stuff some bits 80 years old.
I was doing hot rod fabrication back then and trucking. When the economy took a crap and fuel prices hit $4.00 I parked my truck and became a hired driver again.
Eventually I had to sell all but my drill press to keep above water.
Now I am too damn old to run that stuff anyway!
