Old small Lathe - replica
Hello everybody,
my name is Carlos, i'm from Brazil.
I have bought a small lathe last month... as a know it's something like a replica of an old project lathe.
Maybe an German or Italian lathe of First World War or Second World War.
I would like just now where does this lathe come from... and a date!
See below the pictures:

That lathe is nice, Carlos.
Did you restore it?
Have you seen this web site? Lathes
I can't help you with details for your machine but Tony's website can entertain for hours.

Looks like 40's era the round bed was a favorite of the Russians too. A very nice little machine .Maybe an email to tony Griffiths at lathes.co .uk with some pics.

That lathe appears to have been made after 1940 as it has Allen head bolts used extensively.
Also the exposed hexi head bolts are all new and they appear to be metric thread (best guess).
So it's either a recent copy or an old lathe that's been gone through with all new stuff.
The paint job looks like an over spray - so it could be either.
Finding the original manufacturer identity would be difficult.

But at least you tried.

Hello everybody!
This Lathe is not a old. It's new! It was made in 2012, as a copy of an old lathe.
Of course who made it had changed some details.
This person who made it and sold to me works with machining since 1980 and has got 5 lathes as mine that worked over 25 years.

I suspected so.
In that case why don't you just ask the guy that made it?
Surely he knows what he's copying ?

The man that I bought this lathe told me that, when he was young his father is who began copying this lathe for own use and to sell.
And after his father died he stoped doing it... mine lathe was the last one he made using some parts that was already ready to use a long time in his garage.
This man died maybe 3 ou 4 months ago and I can't ask him anything.
