A lathe at an auction, what is it?
Went to an auction today with uncle, his interest was piqued by mention of hit and miss
engines. Uncle got out spent on the engine he wanted but at least he likes the guy that bought it. I had my eye on this lathe. http://www.garage-machinist.com/usenet/rcm/Lathe_AV.jpg http://www.garage-machinist.com/usenet/rcm/Lathe_FV.jpg Close up of obliterated decal if it helps. http://www.garage-machinist.com/usen...athe_Decal.jpg Uncle was curious as to what series of collet this thing uses. Note there is something you can use to scale for size in image. http://www.garage-machinist.com/usen...he_collets.jpg The lathe sold for $160.00 and I didn't buy it. Sure is cute though. Wes |

Wes Interesting design..but is of a type that was VERY common at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. You are going to have to go through http://www.lathes.co.uk/page21.html slowly over time and see if you can match up something. My gut feeling was Rivett, but no..its not..not even close. http://www.lathes.co.uk/rivett/page6.html Its an interesting lathe, very well made. The electric motor is likely an addon. Gunner One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

I can't tell from the decal, but it sort of looks like an early Hardinge. A jeweler's lathe on steroids -- even more so than the Derbyshire lathes with 'D' collets. Uncle was curious as to what series of collet this thing uses. Note there is something you can use to scale for size in image. http://www.garage-machinist.com/usen...he_collets.jpg Look like 3C, too small for 4C or 5C, but if it is a Hardinge, it certainly is a C (Cataract) series collet. A 3C looks pretty close. The lathe sold for $160.00 and I didn't buy it. Sure is cute though. I think that a Hardinge collector would have paid a lot more than that for it.
