That extension is purely for swinging the tail stock out of the way, so it doesn't matter. The extension they make for their smaller lathe is, I believe, tube based. Incidentally, the ad says cast iron bed. No it's not, it's machined steel.
that is good i knew there had to be an explanation
that is a nice feature
not a bad price for that beast
I think new Oneway 2036 lathes are around $5500 or so now. So $4000 for a
20 year old lathe may or may not be good. Plate says made in 1997. Its no t like lathes actually wear out, with use or not. There really is not anyt hing to wear out. My complaint, so to speak, is why does anyone buy the 20 36 lathe when for only a few hundred more you can get the 2436 model. Even if you never ever need more than 20" swing, why not get the extra 24" swin g model just to have it. The ad did not mention if its a 2hp or 3hp motor.Join the Discussion
