DESCRIPTION:

These are pictures of machinery for sale by an Amish friend of Bob Bain
<prototyp@mail.ameritel.net>. Equipment is located in Southern Maryland.
Bob provided the following description:

>Ok, here are the pictures and I got more info on everything.  It turns out
>John had the books for everything AND he has another machine to sell as
>well.  The other machine is a Sears lathe (I didn't get the numbers, sorry)
>that is absolutely MINT - not a scratch!  I didn't ask him where he got it
>but It was there the last time I saw him.  At the time I don't think he wanted
>to sell it.  Now he does.  It's a 10" craftsman (atlas) and comes with
>tooling - 3 jaw, 4-jaw, faceplate, toolholders, taper attachment, milling
>attachment, original manuals, but no collet closer.  It's 3/4 hp single
>phase (factory - not a conversion).  It's in the pictures along with the
>Hamilton stuff so don't get confused and think it's part of the same lot.
>He wants $2500 for the Sears lathe and I'd say it's a steal... (this is
>getting ridiculous - maybe I should be in sales...).
>
>OK, now for the Hamilton stuff.

>Lathe:
>model STP-2
>6" swing, 15" between centers
>8 speeds from 360 to 2820 RPM
>1 - 12 spindle nose w/ #1 morse taper
>no threading but does have die holder
>#1 morse taper tailstock
>hand feed - no power feed
>quick change toolholder, knurling tool, cutoff tool, die holder
>live center, 2 drill chucks, magnetic tool holder, misc tool bit &
>adjustment tools
>
>Vert Mill:
>model STP-4
>14" table, 8 x 3 travel
>4 1/8 quill stroke - #1 morse taper spindle
>16 speeds - 150 - 2820 RPM, 1/3 hp
>drill chuck, end mill adapter, shell mill holder w/ 1.25"cutter, drawbar,
>vise
>
>Horiz Mill:
>model STP-3
>14" table, 8 x 3 travel
>4.25" vertical travel
>15 speeds, 95-2820 RPM
>1-12 spindle nose w/ #1 morse taper
>overarm and arbor w/ cutters
>
>All the above have tools (maintenance) and manuals including parts books.
>Most of the tooling is interchangeable between machines.  There is some
>minor surface discoloration on some parts (like the brownish color left by
>WD-40 on metal surfaces).  The tailstock of the lathe has some very minor
>dings on the barrel (probably some stupid kid in the school) but nothing I'd
>worry about (you wouldn't know they were there unless you really looked
>hard).  All machines are on their own benches with drawers.  There's only
>one vise and I don't know which machine it goes to (they were probably
>identical).  All machines have chip pans.  After you clean off the cosmoline
>you may have to polish some areas up with scotchbright if you want that
>"brand new" look.  The bed of the lathe is tubular, but it looks plenty
>rigid enough for the size of the machine.  The carriage slides on the
>tubular bed and is guided by the rack which is mounted in the underside of
>the bed.  This stuff was training suite for a school.  The instructors
>manuals are here, too.  Looks like a great package for a small home shop
>or a hobbyist.  It's bigger than Sherline and built very well (all cast iron). Don't
>know what else to tell you about this stuff other than that he won't break
>it up - all the Hamilton stuff goes as one package (it would be stupid to
>break it up - everything is interchangeable).  And yes, you can get the
>whole mess in a full size pickup.
