A mate of mine bought this old, very heavy, very big set of wood lathe parts at an auction of a Pattern Maker. It has no identifiable castings or marks to tell us who may have made it.
It consists of a tailstock, head and some cast supporting feet. There is no bed, it appears that we will have to make up a bed ourselves.
It looks capable of being made into a very long lathe.
I will probably be asking for more advice when we try and make the bed, mount the motor and figure out how to attach a chuck or faceplate.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of the make or age?
Thanks, Pat
