Identify my lathe?

admin

Hello everyone:I picked up this metal lathe for $50 - hope I didn't pay too much.  It has an "H" cast into the front side of the bed about half way along but apparently is not a Hercus (according to the Hercus people in Oz)Tony Griffiths in England cannot identify it but says he thinks it is an American made unit from about 1900-1925.Can anyone identify this lathe or direct me to someone who can?Thanks!Last edited by Pavel; 01-22-2010 at 01:48 AM.

Reply:Seriously! I would have bought that all day for 50 bucks, how does it work? (not to hijack, i have no idea what kind it is)
Reply:For 50 bucks it dont matter what kind it is if you can use it to build something then its good. Didnt see it but the drive motor must go overhead like mine. Hope you got that. mINE HAS A COVER THAT GOES ON LEFT END THAT HAS THE NAME. hAROLD
