    The iron foundry I use called to say some of my latest order has some slight porosity in one area of a part. It's only cosmetic, and at 280 pounds, I don't want him to melt it back down and try again, an unnecessary waste of time, money, sand and resin and electricity. I usually use JB Weld to...

    pre 1900 lathe tail stock spindle handle feed direction

    I posted this in the Watertown lathe thread because of the square center discussion, but thought my question deserved it's own thread, to not hijack the other. I tried to eject the center from the tailstock quill by turning the handle to withdraw the quill into the tailstock, but it did not...

    2 phase Whiton Centering Lathe Machine

    I bought this machine a few years ago in anticipation of a job that never came about. Good thing, because the motor was stuck solid!

    A friend has this little lathe that has been fitted with an air compressor and accumulator tank. He says it runs, but was not wired up. Any ideas on the manufacturer of the lathe? He is going to get it running for his son and would be nice to have some history of it. Better pictures of the...

    Italic Milling machine?

    My brother was reminiscing today about the old Cass Tech high school he attended in Detroit. He remembered the fourth floor machine shop, with a big Axelson lathe... "It was quiet, smooth, and just felt like a 3-ton micrometer – solid and accurate." Rows of South Bend cone heads, and a...

    wooden bed blacksmith's lathe

    This lathe spent time in a blacksmith shop up to about half century ago. It has been on display since then in a friend's museum without running. It appears to be assembled from an earlier era, as the parts don't all fit properly on the bed. At some point, it must have had backgears, as seen...

    Narragansett treadle lathe

    This belonged to a friend's father and I promised it a good home. Does anyone have one like it, or pictures from a catalog? Guessing that the fine toothed gear on end of shaft was an added on spacer. The treadle plate is slid over, I am assuming, and leaning on the unused pulley to keep it out...
