Here it sits in friends basement. It came with a bit of tooling, steady rest and taper attachment. |
|
It didn't look all that bad from the photos. Cross webbed bed was a clue of sorts... |
|
My second clue - a flame hardened bed... |
|
Doesn't seem to be missing anything ... |
|
A shot of the all important way area directly next to the headstock. There is NO ridge on top of the ways due to wear... |
|
A shot of the serial number. Now I can really search out the info on this lathe... |
|
A few extra pictures ... |

The old ags are actually in good shape ! |
|
One last picture before I move it ... |
|
I arrived on moving day to find it out of the basement and onto a pallet. Worked out nice... |
|
Front view ... |

Ah, a beautiful Autumn moring to move a lathe into my shop... |
|
I used straps under the bed to lift the entire assembly. Just watch the lead screw!! |
|
Found a spot in the shop for a moment. I rolled it on pipe and dolleys... |
|
Moving this around and that's it for a short while... |
|
Well ... Finally I get to work on my lathe :) 90° outside too and it will be hotter tomorrow! |
|
I used a brass mallet to gently slide the arbor out of the main housing allowing the belt to slide off the shaft. |
|
Another view from the side ... |
|
The lathe comes off easily with just four bolts. There's a gasket under between the lathe and the cabinet which will be replaced. |
