Zack Snowy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Wondering If you guys could help me identify this would lathe. I could find any company logos or model numbers on it. The picture of the motor is the one I believe to be the motor for it, im not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I have a boat anchor (jointer) like that :-) Pic came through. No clue on the lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Picture is showing but, I'm not the one to ask on the lathe.. Certainly looks like an old joiner in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwalter5110 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm not sure I have ever seen a tool rest similar to the one you have. I have nothing. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick A McQuay Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Are there threads under the drive spur or a smooth shaft? Those two bolts on the headstock look like oil holes for sleeve bushings. No idea on who made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Snowy Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ya those two spots are oil points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwacker Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like the remains of an old craftsman from maybe 40's with whats left of a copy crafter, just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Snowy Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 PB thats the one, great guess! Thanks! http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsmanwood/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim0625 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have an old Delta - about a 42". Early 70s model. Was the Father-in-law's - had a shop fire in '98. I rebuilt the lathe - I had to mother-in-law watching. Wayyyyy too much money in it. Sentimental value. If you don't have any sentimental value, buy...a...new...one and start turning this weekend.

TimV Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 The jointer looks like a 4" version of a walker turner. I have the 6" model from around 1954. I'm not so sure it is a craftsman or dunlap. It is close but doesn't quite match. The tailstock is missing the additional ribbing on the inside as compared to those pictures of the open tailstocks. And the bed doesn't quite match either. The feet are not similar and the gap between the ways seems very tight in your picture compared to the craftsman/dunlap pics. It appears as if all the craftsman/dunlop beds are also cast where as your pic doesn't look cast. Maybe you could post the pic to www.vintagemachinery.org The people in that forum are very helpful identifying old equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
