Long, long time ago.. I operated a lathe turning turbine outer cases and
can't remember the type.

It had a 60" face plate and had no tailstock... We refered to them as
T-lathes or stubnose lathes... Is there a common name for these.

Thanks, Jack


They were called "T" lathes..... major manufactures were Lodge &
Shipley, Monarch, Niles, and Lucas....

Thanks, I did a search for T-lathes and got nothing,.. I thought I was
getting old and just forgot the name.

I ran one with a tracer unit on it and was thinking it would work great
for turning mag wheels for bikes and cars. ( on my budget anyway )
