AAW to give away 2 lathes

During the Orlando AAW Symposium, Delta International Machinery donated two new Delta X5 full size Model 46-756 lathes valued at $2250 each. They were used as demo lathes during the Symposium. They turn 16" over the Steel Bed, and include the basic machine with 2 HP, variable speed 230V motor, drive center, live center, 4" face plate, 12" tool rest and base, knockout bar, wrenches and instruction manual. They turn 42†between centers, have a 1 ¼†x8tpi spindle and weigh 386 lbs.

Your chapter can win one of these lathes. The AAW Board of Directors has decided that as an added bonus for our members, that one lathe will be awarded to an individual who either renews his/her AAW membership or joins the AAW between September 1, 2004 and January 15, 2005. The winner will be selected by a random drawing from a pool of members joining or renewing during this period. The winner will be called and asked the name of his/her chapter. That chapter will win the other lathe. That could be your chapter.

The winners will be responsible for shipping from Orlando.

Please forward this message to all of your chapter members and encourage all chapter members who are presently not AAW members, to join. They will not only receive the wonderful benefits of membership in the AAW, but to be able to be in the drawing for a great lathe for themselves and to increase your chapter’s chance of winning the other one.

The AAW supports the chapters in many ways and the chapters should support the AAW by having its members join AAW. If you need additional membership applications, call the AAW office at 651-484-9094.

Thanks and good luck in the drawing!

Clarification

In my prior Forum posting about the AAW giving away 2 lathes, I unintentionally overlooked the AAW members that have already joined for multiple years and by their having done so, renewed for 2005. Those that have done so will certainly be included in the drawing. Our intent is to give an additional bonus to all of our renewing or new members.
Thanks
John Hill – Chairman of Chapters and Membership Committee
