I can understand the K&T appeal Michael. You certainly have some beautiful machines. I won't wind you up about photos.
Here's one that I've always been fond of.

A nice collection of machines Michael
I particularly like the powered rotary table on the K&T.
On the off chance do you have any old LeBlond info, LeBlond tell me mine is from 1915, but thats all i can find out. A member on PM (bigearl maybe?) sent me a 1920 catalog but it is not quite right. John Odder also agrees my machine is from the mid to late teens but after much internet trawling i have not found another the same.
Rob, no worries, i won't tell anyone1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.

Hello: The 16 inch Southbend actually started life as a turret lathe in 1957... I added the tailstock, compound rest, taper attachment after I got it... It is a standard 16 inch except for the three step headstock pulley instead of four as on the standard engine lathe..
Southbend made a "heavy ten" as opposed to their standard ten inch machine I think but I have never heard of a "heavy 16".
I usually use my 2h with Bridgeport head or the Midgetmill on my 2h for light vertical milling..The 2d is great for vertical milling but is actually a machine which was designed for die sinking as the head rotates and there is a cherrying attachment for sinking dies, etc...The 2d will run a 3/4 inch endmill 1/2 inch deep at one inch per minute in steel with no problems as long as oil is flowing on the cutter.. Anyone down under familiar with the rotary head machine? Mine, like most of the other K&T machines is a "war baby".

Notice the universal joint on the drive of the rotab.. Actually this size rotab (16 inch) is too large for a 2hl mill..
The 12 inch rotab is correct for a 2hl... I have one each 12 inch and 16 inch power driven rotab as part of my 2d tool and die set and I have adapted both rotabs for use on my 2hl via low lead attachment... Very handy for rotary work and the feed rates with a low lead attachment are various...

G'day Michael
There are threads for
Show us your Shaper
Show us your lathe
Show us your mill
If you want to see what the rest of us have.
Your reference to a rotary head machine - is that like the Volstro head that I've been playing with but actually integral to the machine? If so I don't think anyone here has got one (or even seen one). That would be a fun machine to use!

Steptoe Shaper
Here is an old Steptoe shaper I bought at an auction some years back...
It is the deluxe model with full pressure lubrication.. Well worth the 200 dollars I paid for it...

Hi Ramsay,
Welcome(better late than never)
Wow they sure was ugly when you got it home.
I wonder if the was built just as line drive was going out? as the motor and gearbox look like an addition.
Are all three red levers gear selection? I assume the large grey lever is the clutch?
The offset on the powerfeed eccentric seems to be fixed. Is there adjustment some how at the other end?
Great shed BTW

Steptoe
Hello: Yes the shaper had been sitting outside and had oak leaves piled inside.... The motor and gearbox were factory items as shown in original brochure I have...The two levers on the gearbox are for different speeds, the lever with the black ball on top is backgear in and out.. The gray lever is the twin disc clutch engagement lever...The power feed eccentric is adjustable via turnbuckle which causes more notches in the ratchet to engage on each stroke..

That 2D is amazing....now that I could make room for!(but don't tell the boss though its unlikely to be a problem )
Sorry yes, certainly factory fitted but it doesn't look like it was there on "version 1" though I've been wrong before.
How do you adjust the powerfeed to work in the opposite direction if you cant change the eccentric 180 degrees? Could I trouble you for another picture? I've seen a nice setup on a smaller shaper that has one lever that controls both direction of feed and pitch(? feed per stroke?) while keeping the feed on the back stroke. Thats on my "maybe one day" list of things to do.

Steptoe Shaper
Some of the older Steptoe shapers were belt driven from lineshafting.. The machine I have is from about 1940 I think...
To change feed compared with direction of stroke of ram, there is a pin on the eccentric which can be pulled and eccentric rotated 180 degrees and pin engaged...
to change direction of table feed, rotate feed ratchet pawl 180 degrees..
To change rate of feed, adjust turnbuckle to engage one, two, or three notches on feed ratched for each stroke..
