I picked up a 10"x 36" Rockwell Delta Metal lathe at a sale recently
and plan on reselling it. It appears to be in very good shape, with no
visible wear marks on the ways.

My first question. Did these lathes come with hardened ways? I have
looked at the lathes.co.uk webpage and there is no mention of the beds
being hard or not on the 10's. Either this one has a hard bed or it saw
very light use over the years.

Second question. Anybody ever see a conversion cross slide for a
Rockell Delta wood lathe for metalworking? Any idea what one might be
worth?
It looks to be the one shown here
http://www.lathes.co.uk/delta/index.html at the bottom of the page
(metal turning compound slide rest). I got this along with the metal
lathe, and it looks to me to be a pretty decent addition to a wood lathe
for someone that might want to make patterns or less freeform wood
turnings.

Any information is good!

The lathe is currently located outside Edmonton AB Canada, and will be
moved to Cold Lake just after the end of this month, if you are
interested. I currently only have access to my own email on weekends,
but have a webmail account that I try to check a couple times a week at
trevjinvk(at)yahoo.ca
