Rebuilding a Craftsman Metal Lathe

[@mrpete222]

Excellent video, far better than mine. Wish I had watched this before I made mine.

Very nice work mister. Good video.

[@tinker-craft]

Hey thanks!🙏

[@HaveAGoAlan]

Super nice, and I'm super jealous!

[@tinker-craft]

Thanks! Not nearly as fulfilling as building one’s own Gingery lathe though 😁

[@tobhomott]

Atlas/craftsman laithes are not that bad. i got an L12 craftsman last year, and i love throwing chips on it

[@tinker-craft]

I'm liking it so far!

How well did those gloves work for you? It seems if I do not use nitrile (blue/green/orange) gloves, the thumb tears through waaaay too quickly!

[@ironhead65]

To be clear, I meant the vynl gloves you used in the beginning of the video!

[@tinker-craft]

They weren’t great tbh, I tore through a couple of pairs. I started doubling them up 😄

[@BrainHurricanes]

@@tinker-craft You need the nitrile (black) gloves if you work with grease and oil.

[@tinker-craft]

Good call 👍
