We ended up with this super worn turret lathe a few years back for $500 and used it for a few small bushing jobs that more than paid for the machine. I decided that justified fixing it up so i pulled it all apart and brushed/picked about 70 years worth of grease and chips out of every crevasse. Redid some electrical, put on some new belts, adjusted all the gibs, re greased everything and now painting it and getting it all back together. Always fun to bring something new life. #makestr #fabricator #rebuild #trashtotreasure #machine

Awesome work! I got to see some of the tools my friend had from his machine shop back in the day.

It’s amazing that even something as simple as a vise was made so much better decades ago. With proper care, old tools would last generations.
