What to Check When Buying
When inspecting a 1961 machine, focus on spindle runout and bearing condition—these directly affect accuracy. Check the bed for wear marks or scoring along the slide, particularly near the headstock. Request maintenance records and verify that all feed mechanisms operate smoothly. Inspect the chuck, centers, and any included tooling. Given the machine's age, clarify whether it's been recently serviced and confirm electrical systems meet current safety standards. On-site inspection is recommended to assess overall condition and operability.
