Swedish "Toreb" lathe
Hi all,
It's a Swedish "Toreb" brand lathe which I believe is a 12(or 14) x 42, but will confirm exact measurements. It's single phase, 2HP motor (will run off a normal 240V outlet), has 9 speeds and reverse. Has auto feed along the bed as well as across the face and comes with a huge assortment of gears for different feed and screw cutting speeds/threads. It will cut both imperial and metric threads. It also has a removable gap bed. Spindle bore is 32mm.
I have used the lathe for a little bit of turning (including taper turning) and thread cutting. It is a great lathe, accurate and seems function beautifully.
Included with the lathe is both a 3 and 4 jaw chuck, faceplate, dead centre and straight tool holder.
Here is a pic of the lathe just after I picked it up. I've since cleaned it and tuned it up a bit and have marked all of the knobs/levers etc for their function.
I haven't had the lathe for very long and am after only what I have spent on it - $1200 - that is $1100 purchase price + $100 for the electrical work to allow for running the motor in reverse and a new set of way wipes all round.
If interested, please PM or email me.
Thanks.Cheers.
Vernon.

OK I've double checked some dimensions etc:
Swing = 7" (178mm)
Swing in gap bed = 10" (254mm)
Total bed length = 52" (1320mm)
Spindle nose to tail = 42" (1065mm)
3 Jaw chuck diameter = 7.5" (190mm)
4 Jaw chuck diameter = 9" (230mm)
Faceplate diameter = 11" (280mm)
I have facilities to lift the lathe to put it on a trailer or flatbed truck and if you are local I would certainly be willing to consider delivering it.Cheers.
Vernon.
