When you restore an old lathe, or any power tool, the first time you put it under power is MAGIC !! And then, you get to cut metal with it ! Very nice work, I am sure it will serve you very well for many years to come .

What a beautiful machine ! I'm glad you didn't polish it to death. Amazing that parts are still available. Very nice project...

Wonderful restoration, looks really great.

I don’t think the critics watched the same video as me. Your dial indicator at the end showed pretty much perfect precision. People just want to hate what they cannot do themselves to make themselves feel better about being unaccomplished and lazy. Good on you for bringing an old machine back to life and probably learning some new skills and techniques.

What a beautiful job you did restoring the old lathe to working order. It not only works like a charm but it also looks a lot better too. Excellent work.

the fact it was chattering on a light cut in brass means the ways are fucked and need reworked even the spindle bearing is gone on it just because you cleaned and repainted it means nothing if its not functioning as intended

Superb work it's gonna last years now, very useful addition to a workshop
