Finally got a tool gloat!!!
Just got a steal of a deal on craigslist. picked up an old ToolKraft lathe for only $25. It came with chisels and quite a few accessories. Drive centers, live centers, and plates. It has just over 6" from center to bottom of the gullet and at least 36" between. Came on stand with motor too. I just tested it out on a piece of oak from my firewood stack. I guess you would call it quarter split? lol It works nice but the motor was getting pretty hot. It's only a 1/3 hp ge motor.
turned a handle for something just freehand messing around.
