Pictures of your Lathe Setup

WVHick

Would love to see some pics of everyone’s lathe setup. Here’s my modest little 13x40 lathe in my tiny garage my truck won’t even fit in if it’s empty. I bought the lathe from a school auction and it runs on 440V 3-phase so spot the little 3kVA Acme Transformer mounted on the wall lol. It’s a little under rated for the lathe but I don’t push it hard. I’ve chambered about 10 or so barrels and all has been well so far.

Please post pics of your guys setups! I hope to upgrade to a Harrison M300 one day. Always wanted one of those but hard to justify since I just build stuff for myself.

I just got a new lathe (used like new Taiwan) Don't have pics but here is my old setup. You can kind of see my Kent USA behind my welding/machinist table. I just picked up an Enco Turnpro in like new condition, Same lathe as the ACER 1440G. Haven't had a chance to get it into place yet.

Edit to add:

My new lathe weighs 2000 lbs. Meehanite castings. This is a stock pic of it.

Is your lathe branded "Jashico" or "Lux Matter" or Enco?
