A Full Data Pack containing all known information for these lathes. Lathe was recently refurbished by specialized workshop. New SDS 6 digital reading system installed.

They're a great machine.“Graziano Tortona SAG 14 lathe (14' x 60'). If you're interested in seeing what I've done for accessories and a back splash shield, I can post pictures.Įnjoy your new purchase. I purchased both a steady and follow rest on eBay that were for different lathes and machined adapters for them to work on mine. I have been watching eBay for Graziano accessories for several years and have never seen anything for these lathes.

You asked about buying accessories such as steady and follow rests on eBay. Otherwise, you will have coolant/cutting oil all over your wall, ceiling, floor and yourself. If you plan to use a coolant system, I would highly recommend constructing a back splash shield and install a chuck guard. I also find them a bit cumbersome to set up. I have used the carriage stops on occasion but they don't seem to be really precise enough to trust them for consistent machining to a shoulder. I have my SAG 14 backed up to a wall and I haven't had any issues cleaning out the chip pan from the front. I have the full set of carriage stops, how often do you guys use them? Are they usable for shoulder stops and threading stops? They seem incredibly handy. I plan to the have it back up against a wall, but notice the chip pan come off on the back side, I can make a hoe like device for chip removal, will that be sufficient or should I try and spin the lathe around? It's a hobby thing right now, so I don't t anticipate mountains of chips in the near term I'll get some pictures posted soon.ĭo I need a special type of oiler for the little button type oil ports on the lathe, I'm looking at Goldenrod piston pump oil can will that do it?Īre tool posts for 10-18 inch swing the most appropriate?įor tooling 1 inch holders? I see an auction coming with a lot of 1" and 1 1/4" tool holders on offer.Īnyone have a favorite dial setup for the cross feed? It came with a DRO for the Z axis so I'm good there. I have a 10 HP VFD to power it, and I believe I have sorted out the oils I need to keeps it going.
