    Narragansett Lathe For Sale on Craigslist

    I find it rather funny that the seller claims this is an early 1860's Civil War era lathe and gives Vintagemachinery as a source, which gives the start of the company at 1882, which Cope also gives in his book. Rob

    Really Internal Morse Tapers

    enginebill gave a brief answer on this. Here is a more complete answer in this link. https://practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/antique-machine-tool-tapers.345584/ The link given by wheels17 has a lot of errors about Morse. Morse never invented tapers. Rob

    Niles Planer

    This is an earlier Niles planer than the one illustrated above, which is from the 1891 Niles catalog. This is from the 1880's, so the weight is probably less than the 13,400 lbs from the 1891 catalog. Rob

    Garvin milling machine FS in TN:

    Actually the #4 back geared in this thread is screw feed on the table and not rack feed. We will both enjoy it. Starting this summer, more of my machines are going down there. The plan is for me to move down there. Getting tired of the long cold winters. Rob

    Garvin milling machine FS in TN:

    That has been on ebay for awhile and as Irby indicated, it is a little to high in price. Plus I have several Garvin dividing heads. Also this model mill never had or came with one. I have bought the mill. It will be going down to my nephew, in Georgia. Rob

    Goodell Pratt Lathe Usable?

    Most of the attachments I found for mine were from ebay. They show up there from time to time, but can be pricey. Just recently there was a slide rest on ebay. Rob
