Pictures of my “new” lathe in better light

So I had to wait until daytime to take some better pictures of my lathe. Unfortunately I was using my iPhone, which means I got like 2 pictures that were OK for the 10 I tried to take. I really need to buy a real camera.  And just to be clear I was not using the hammer to adjust anything on my lathe!

The integrated gearbox quick-change gearbox means I can cut threads on this lathe – which I am fairly excited to try. Yeah, I need to get out more. I am thinking the stand will also give me a nice place for mounting the DRO hardware (a digital readout that tells me where the cutting tool is currently positioned).
