This one? http://www.wallacecompany.com/old_lathe/left_side-1a.jpg http://www.wallacecompany.com/old_lathe/dcp_6919-1a.jpg http://www.wallacecompany.com/old_lathe/ I did a lot of cleaning and wire brushing, but haven't come across a makers mark yet. It's pretty poorly made so I'm thinking it's a 1940's cheap knock-off of a 1920's lathe, but I really don't know. The biggest problem with this project is the badly worn bed. It's not worth sending to the Bay Area to be reground. I'm going to have to become much more clever to figure out how to do it myself. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
