Impressive!.. Thanks "T" fro posting this.
Not sure how i feel about stacking large lathes like cord wood!
I get that the tail stock end has blocking directly over the base..but on the headstock end, unless the machine was
leveled, with the full length of the head stock bearing the load on the floor evenly..think it would make things go out of straight....
Of course i can't say for sure because i have zero experience with "lathe stacking" and its long term effects.
Here in California....Stacking large heavy objects that aren't bolted down is a real bad idea....
Cheers Ross
Martin got us out of bed real early on Sundaymorning (7.30 ) to visit that dealer Just for our visit he persuaded the guy to open up his shop for a hour or so Thats a brand new warehouse and cramped with machines A few big ones which make for the money The remaining space filled with stacked lathes All of the better German brands like Weisser VDF Weipert Schaerrer and such but old and worn and worth just a couple of thousand euro/pc I dont think stacking them like that would influense their value or even their accuracy Still usable machines in a maintenance department or so Meccanicly those machines are indestructable
