i took our mantel c lock to the repair shop today. while there, being a mechanical guy myself, i spent a lot of time discussing thing with the repairman. very interesting guy. however, the subject of this post is the lathe that he had in his display case. yes i said IN his display case. the whole thing was only about 9" long. this little jewel was amazing. nice camlock tailstock, four jaw independant chuck, faceplate, collets (the smallest was about 1/64"), feed and threading screw. crosslide, compound, everything you would find on a large top of the line. lathe. it runs as well. this thing is so old the motor is an open frame type. a couple of pics here and a link to an album i put on line today. your thoughts are welcome. being a 30+ year machinist, it fascinated me.
