I won't further derail the OP's thread, but I've tested the duty cycle on few school shop welders and am confident the mfg's waaaaaayyyy under rate them

Jay Lynn Gore's son is selling his Rockwell that Jay Lynn chambered a lot of barrels. It works great for chambering barrels through the headstock.

Ran larger versions, a machine you can actually take a cut with a heavy feed. RPM speed change is a breeze.

Someone should grab it quick! Assuming it's in good shape.

Butch do you know what happened to Gene Bukys Rockwell? As I remember he also had one correct?

I don't know. Saundra sold many thousands of dollars worth of his shooting supplies at the Shilen Swap Meet in 2023. You may check with Wade Hull as after selling a ton of Gene['s stuff a huge amount went back to the ranch. No machine items were sold at the swap meet.

This place in town is new-ish and they seem to have tons of nice looking machines, if you're near Louisville

At my age a D1-6 chuck is more than I want to deal with weight wise.

Butch, at a young age of 72, even an 8 inch D1-4 is more than I want to deal with.
