Sorry to interrupt, but I just had to get this off my chest. Here in sunny SA, this is what I saw at the scrapyard on Friday. This was.... a Leadwell CNC lathe leadwell_01 <http://imgbox.com/TCzG2H3i> leadwell_02 <http://imgbox.com/dsfy5Cly> leadwell_03 <http://imgbox.com/ToSbplNT>
I have a feeling the company 'stripped' it so that they could get a better 'steel' price, rather than a reduced 'mixed metal' price. So unfortunately all the motors are probably being stripped for copper somewhere else. If one wanted to make a cnc lathe, this still has all the mechanical elements, slides, ballscrews, spindle(smooth) What a waste, almost criminal. I could buy it for about $500, but it's a huge 'money out' project. But, am I being an idiot to not take it, and add it to my already huge list of projects? An opportunity like is seen about once in five years.
