I have had a lathe sitting in my garage for a year now and i just cleaned it up to set it up. Its an oldy but goodie, I think its probably over 30 years old but according to my good family friend (previous owner) highly accurate. Huge too compared to a mini about 3.5 to 4' in length.

She's a craftsman and I'm getting a new v-belt for her drive monday and hopefully will be turning next week. I was wondering if anyone had an idea for a g-hetto dust collector????

How about a shop vac with a wide attachment right below the lathe?
