Default derbyshire clockmakers lathe



not for woodwork but still interesting

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/...459275979.html

i think it could be used for wood but might not be a great idea

it looks like it has a cantilevered stand unless my eyes are tricking me

a very interesting machine anyway

It looks like a watch makers lathe. Options are there.

Wonder if the precision is still there.

It looks like the speed for the small parts is available.
