  • Condition: Normal wear from use. Our demanding machinist tightened up the cross slide and compound recently and added some oilers. Rockford is/was highly respected for its big planers and shapers in American. Their lathes were equally well built! Runs very well and came from a job shop only. NO production appears to have been run. NOTE: This lathe was put in inventory, about 1990 ! and has been sleeping ever since in our warehouses at Machineco, Montreal with a price of sixty five hundred greenbacks.

    NOTES:
    It is to be noted that while Rockford was famous for their line of planers, planer mills and shaper, they also made their "Economy" example of well-built engine lathes. This machine will perform similar function at a fraction of the “as new" price!
    WE had this lathe listed about 15 years ago, for
    00 usd,
    on our web site (where it is STILL so listed!
    See Machineco, Montreal) For many reasons the machinery division had to abandon business in the interim to concentrate on our industrial real estate developments. This lathe acquired years of ordinary
    floor dust on it (see photos) since coming off occasional use in a CNC shop by the guy in the first photo.
    Dust it off, check the lubes and.......... start turning!
