Well we just signed over a check to purchase a TL-2 and there were a couple basic questions I forgot to ask and I really don't want to deal with the sales guy again and was hoping if anyone can help out with these couple questions.
We purchased a TL-2 with:
Coolant Pump Kit
Manual Tailstock
12" Chuck
4 Station Turret
and Quick Change tool post.
First question is on installation, does the TL-2 need compressed air and if so what is it used for on the TL-2? Reason asking would a basing 5hp 50 gallon compressor work or should we plumb it to our be air dried compressor.
For those who have purchased the tailstock does it come with a dead center or live center?
This is the first time we have bought a lathe and a little anxios and want to make sure we have everything before the machien arrives.
