Estate sale purchase. Came with tools and explanation that it worked when last hooked up.
Smithy Midas 1220 XL Lathe
==Mounting==
Lathe needs to be mounted and motor put on hinge aligned with the pulley on the lathe. The speed is changed by lifting the motor, switching the belt and letting the motor back down putting tension on the belt.
==What needs to be done?==
*New power cord (the one on it has no end and is frayed at the motor). Guy who sold it to us recommended replacing the whole cable rather than splicing on a new plug.
*An on-off switch might be nice.
*Wire wheel clean up of rust
*Possible touch-up with rustproof paint of parts that were originally painted that are now rusted (e.g. tool rest)
*Mounting
*Some manner of safety shield?
