setup for threading
Hi Bob,
Looks nice but gears on the lh end aren't standard for the imperial gearbox. Unless it has been configured for a specific task you will need it set up as per the picture. Mal

It amazes me some of the paint condition on these old lathes. It has stood the test of time very well.

well done Bob - that looks in superb condition. What a total score. Figured what year it is? Was expensive?
Btw, I am a bit of a South Bend geek - I have a 1941 10". The lady in my life calls it "the first garage wife". )
