"New" to me '63 Delta Lathe

[EricS]

Just a picture of a '63 46-111 Delta lathe.I picked up last week. I'm not much of a turner but I love old Delta Woodworking Machines so I couldn't pass it up. Great condition and fits in well with my other machines. I hopefully will be able to fit some turnings into my projects. A little elbow grease and it will be just like new. :gar-Bi

Looking good! Glad it found a good home. Cast iron doesn't go bad.

Now that's nice. I can't wait to see it after you get it all polished up and ready to go.:icon_thum

Looks like a great candidate for a restore job! IMHO Love these old tools!

Cleaning is good, but nothing like a new coat of DELTA paint to "turn" into great lathe!

Congrats!
