NoMar tire mounter with static balancer ... tried and worked great on both motorcycle and car tires without problem; even did a 255/60-15!

SERIOUSLY COOL!!!
I've wanted a tire machine for the longest time, I don't trust tire jockeys!!!

Nice one, Tom!  I agree with Zach...it is nice to be able to do your own tires.

South Bend 13 x 72 completely tooled up.

Poor postman  Wink

Nice tool, I would really like to learn to machine. A friend sold last year an old lathe that came from a rifle factory (Fabrique nationale Belge), very nice and straight but weight around 2500kg !!  Shocked

This lathe is in incredible condition, it was used for gunsmithing also. I picked it up today with my Nissan pickup. It was way beyond the capacity of my little truck (~1200lbs) but I only had to move it 25 miles.

SWEET!
Reminds me of the Atlas/Craftsman unit I picked a while back.
Lathes really open your machining capabilities ... goood luck with that fine unit!

Great looking wheels, TomiG, and also one of the best looking wheels ever produced.

Didn't get it in the mail, but my best friend, Bob, gave me an Engle W-110 cam for Christmas. STOKED!

Found a couple of NOS Lee Eliminator filters for the Schley's two racecars. These are dated 1973... Paul and Mark freaked out when I sent them these for Christmas.

Steve is the ONLY person I trust for that sort of work. You know that when you get your parts from Steve, you will have NO issues.
