Покупка токарного станка 16б16ка - "мечта всей жизни" или всё-же 2 тонны геморроя...

When you've dreamed for centuries and your patience is running thin, you buy it without even looking. That's what happened to me with this machine: I bought it remotely based on vague photos, without actually testing it, and with almost guaranteed problems, since the price tag was right. Honestly, if I'd inspected it myself, I probably wouldn't have bought it, like many others before me. And if you also check all the tolerances with instruments, as some advise, it's best to stay home and not make people laugh. I'm talking about machines that are decades old, and not always in skilled hands. This machine now faces a long restoration process, and I might have some surprises, but there's no other way... #16b16ka #lathe #restoration
