G'Day,
I came across this small wood lathe (minus the bed) and was hoping someone may know more about it...
it appears that the missing bed is either a solid square section, or a thick walled square tube. The faceplate screws onto the spindle with a normal v thread. The tailstock ram moves via a ribbed wheel, and there appears to be a socket or threaded hole in the ram.
The only markings on the headstock are RL -180 and the letters EWR. The castings are cast iron or cast steel.

The face plate is 100mm (4') diameter, and the spindle height is roughly 80mm above the bed.
I copied this from the general powered tools group under advisement for better coverage - thanks Colin62 for the suggestion..
Thanks,
Des
