Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Santa’s bringing me a better lathe. I need to get a lot done quickly or Mr. Vic will just get smaller going down the track. If I’m not the lead dog the view never changes.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The lathe I purchased is 1970 model and it needs a good cleaning. It’s a 17 X 60 Summit with very little ware. It does have a Buck 10 “ adjustable 6 jaw chuck. It’s a little low on head stock oil so we have some on order.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Cool! I just picked up an industrial milling machine. Wife asked, I said I needed it to build the stocker
 Lathe is next though! Love the elephant build! Can't wait until I'm at the point I can start looking at incremental improvements to get the last out of it instead of figuring how to hit the index. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Back from the PRI Show with new information to be armed and dangerous. I can’t believe I drove 700 + miles to realize that I needed one of these. I have something similar but just not good enough for the task at hand. For me the show is about furthering my race education. There are always classes to help people in the quest for success in racing and or the racing business. Just like Uncle Al reminds people “It doesn’t cost a thing to pay attention”.
