Precision Matthews PM-1228VF-LB Lathe, Mint, many extras

I was going to get back into metal turning, but life had other plans for me. This lathe has basically never been used, other than a few test cuts. I was particularly drawn to the variable speed dial and readout, makes it really nice for fine-tuning cuts. Precision Matthews is known for providing machine-shop tools that are better than the typical imports.

This PM1228VF-LB is no exception. Operates on 110V Power, No special wiring needed.

Brushless DC Motor, Variable Speed. Quick Change Gear Box, Many less change gears than other machines in this size. INCH LEADSCREW AND FEED SCREWS for even, easy measurements. POWER CROSS FEED, BOTH IN, OUT, and LEFT and RIGHT, and WILL CUT LEFT HAND THREADS TOO. Super Smooth and Quiet running machine.

Heavy Duty Bed Width (same width as most 12x36 Machines). Variable Spindle Speeds From 50-2000 rpm. This sale goes way beyond the stock machine, with a number of important add-ons and upgrades, all included.

High quality Husky rolling workbench with ball-bearing drawers, locking wheels and hardwood top (shown). This lathe is easy to move, locks in place! Trav-A-Dial on the carriage, gives accurate position readout.

Custom designed holder makes it easy to engage/disengage. Quick-change toolpost with tool holders.

Live center and keyless chuck for tail stock. Assorted cutting tools, including cut-off tool and carbide insert tools. Everything lathe-related that is shown in the photos (too numerous to list). Extra bonus: assorted high-speed-steel cutting bits and blanks, ready to shape, sharpen and use.

The ways have ALWAYS been properly oiled and protected, the gearbox has the right amount of the right oil, and I've added a rubber mat to the places where a tool-drop could damage the paint. This exceptional tool is ready to MAKE CHIPS in your shop.

Of course, everything works, it's as-new. My loss is your gain. I have a bad back.

Easy access on paved driveway, ground level shop. Note: This is a quality metal lathe, not a toy nor low-end hobby machine. Please be aware that proper safety measures should always be taken to avoid harm to person, machine or parts. If you are NOT familiar with using a tool such as this, here's your chance to learn on a like-new full-sized lathe that has the strength and precision to do quality work. Frank Hoose (no relation) has created a great series of videos on YouTube that evaluate this model very thoroughly.
