Ok guys:
Grainger finally got that hunk of 1 1/2" x12tpi all thread in for me. Am on the way to turning lead wire dies before long. Let you know how it works.
Any suggestions on dia I should produce wire??

Made a deal for a 13x40 Enco lathe today. Same as the M#510-2591 they said on the ph. This one seems to be very little used, but ,left oily so needs some cleaning. Some tools not seen, may be in storage they were not sure what all is supposed to go with it. I gave them a short list and they'll look for it. Re: 4 jaw, centers, MT collars are about all I noticed wasn't there.
Tool posts and several types too, box of tool bits and some boring bars and other things.
Catalog lists this number for $2700. Made the deal for $1200 and they'll load it for me. On or before June 10th.
Anyone here have Enco experience? I'd like to hear the details, good, bad, terrible as it may be. Do you think this is a good price? The size and price are about what I've been looking for. IF the quality is there and I believe it should be.
What should I watch for?
Thank you,
