Thanks! The lathe is a Taig. I've added quite a few attachments to the basic setup along with some custom touches. It's very accurate and quite solid. Downside is no threading capability and the work envelope is kinda small. Hindsight being 20/20 I would still have bought it, it's a great tool and very simple to work on and customize. I can see where I'm going to want something bigger with threading in the future. Perhaps a Hardinge tooloom lathe
Hah not bloodly likely$$$$$. I get all my Taig stuff from Nick at Cartertools.
