Have you levelled it?

Have to make some feet adjusters first amateur. We have a lathe man coming to go over it. Power feed isnt working at the moment, so maybe a few £S before the off.

That's a proper lathe,Very well made.Just think what you could make on that.

They are a nice lathe, its just a pity the hole through the headstock isnt a tad bigger in diameter.

Worked for many years in railway engineering, served my time as fitter and turner and we had couple of lathes that turned wheels and axles complete. You actually stood on the tool post to work the lathe. Also had a cross cut table saw to cut wood and the blade stood over 6ft out of the table, when running it was frightening to watch it cut huge logs like butter
