2025-03-23 Delta Midi Lathe

This Delta Midi lathe showed up in pieces and missing a bunch of them. We are not sure if it was discarded with the tailstock or not. We had to source a bunch of screws to even test the motor. After assembly is runs fine, though you have to hand start it becaus ethe capacitor is weak or bad. We suspect that was the orgininal reason for discard.

Delta Midi Lathe

The faceplate has 20 thou runout on the front face. We think because it is missing a special backing washer. We have ordered that and if it fixes the runout we may invest more time and energy into this machine.
