F Berry and Sons Sowerby Bridge Yorkshire Lathe
I picked up a nice rare old lathe yesterday . An F Berry and Sons Sowerby Bridge Yorkshire wood turning and Barley twist lathe. It has a lead screw, gears and a traveling carriage with a cutter head. I think its 1870s to 80s. I know F berry and sons were around in the the 1860s and have seen a few other images of much larger lathes they did but there isn't much info on them around to read that I can find. It comes with some extra gears and cutters for a router . Its been fitted with a router before and has just been converted back to run its old belt driven cutter . I would like to re work it so Router and original cutter can easily be changed over. And it needs a bit of attention in a few spots.
That's with router on left and its original cutter on the right where an over head electric motor is driving the cutter head.
