<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 175790, member: 54"]We have a few metal-cutting lathes in various sizes, and chucks (round things that grip the workpiece) are expensive, so when I got the chance to grab this collection, I did. They range in diameter from about 5"-15", are both vintage and modern, some are ready to use, and others lack the backplate which adapts them to a particular type of lathe. Some we can use as-is, some will need work, and some we'll sell or trade off eventually. A 16-oz. aerosol can is near the back of the box, for scale. Box and contents weigh about 1250 lbs. The box was full of about three giant yard trash bags-worth of styrofoam peanuts on arrival, which btw do NO good to protect heavy stuff like this, cardboard is much better.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/image20.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
