    I also own one of these 11 x 36 Rockwells. Absolutley love it! One word of caution...... Be careful when useing the "Locked Spindle" position. If the motor is switched on in this position it will break the teeth on the cast drive gear. Don't ask me how I know this... live and learn. I now have a...

    Wanting a lathe

    When USA made lathes are the topic of conversation, I rarely see the Rockwell name mentioned. I have owned an 11 x 36 variable speed for about 10 years now and absolutely love it. I believe it was made in 1965. Any comments? Anyone else own one of these?

    At our last match, a shooter was having trouble seating primers below flush of the case head. New 220 Russian cases. Some would seat flush while others would be above the case head. After he reamed all of them with a primer pocket cleaner all would seat below flush with the head. If he hadn't...
