A screw cutting lathe that can't cut screws. Pretty sad to know there will be a box somewhere containing a set of orphaned Schaublin 102-VM change gears.

One of the many things that I like about that lathe is the length of the tail stock screw.

I thought the built in indexing plate was a nice touch.

schaublin102vm Lathe
the lathe was advertised as a McPherson lathe. it was ex dept of def.
i don't think the auction house split it all up.Some sailor or soldier didnt
pack it all.
id say the lathe would be a permanent stores item and all the accessory's
consumable. So there is no need to return them to stores.
you could see where they all had been in the draws.
i was quite excited to day about the lathe but as its number drew near
i became very nervous. a feeling sort of like being big trouble.
it had spindle speeds up to 3000rpm . carriage feed stop in both directions
knee operated switch. was 240v. im not shore what the 2 pedals where for i thought a brake and maybe a dog clutch.
the doors all over the lathe open so smoothly and feel very solid.
the indexing set up was a great touch. and when you spun the wheel it all rolled around like magic.
the tail stock spindle was suspended in oil and there was a little window you can read the graduations thru.
the lead screw would of been at least 50mm.
i really stuffed this up it sold for $1500
good luck to who ever brought it. they were not in the room.
it had a nice cousin as well looking a little sad on its pallet.

Thanks for all the photos Aaron.
The feeling you had of the 102 slipping away beyond your reach is familiar. Like me walking into Fiora Machinery over here and seeing not one but two Schaublin 13s and my elation replaced with absolute disappoinment when I was told they were not for sale. So close but so far away. The exquisite Schaublins just exuded quality.
Then I was informed that a bloke had purchased the pair at auction and was considering trading them in on a Chinese mill. Unlike you and the 102, for me there was a flicker of hope. They sat there for a year. You know the rest.
You should have bid on the Arboga.

The camera has made the light look a bit bigger than it is. Its just a std machine light from the 1970's/80s. I can't think of the brand atm. They usually run a 32V bulb and they usually came with a transformer that you attached to the machine somewhere.
I have a couple of the lights myself. The arms have gear sectors on the ends so that the joint moves evenly when you move the light. Pretty good setup if you keep them adjusted correctly. The light housing gets very hot though. I've fitted a downlight housing into one of mine and I'm running a single 12v LED light in it. No more burnt hands.
