In this video I share a few of my experiences with and my opinion on the EMCO V13 lathe, which I could gather over the past 15 years of ownership. This lathe was made in 1988 at the EMCO plant in Hallein, Salzburg, Austria, and had only one previous owner before I got the chance to buy it.
Shown and discussed are the following modifications: Heidenhain Digital Readout (DRO) upgrade, SKF/Vogel central lubrication system, threading dial indicator, change gear hatch, way wipers and other minor mods.
Furthermore the following accessories are shown: Three- and four jaw chucks with various jaws, Schaublin B32 collet chuck, EMCO quick change tool post and holders, ATORN live center.
The new intro music is composed and played by my good friend Churu. Please stop by his site to check out his work: https://linktr.ee/churu.gtr
