I have just purchased a circa 1920 lathe. It came with much tooling and there is not much that I can determine is missing for it.
One thing though is that it came with 2 face plates and 5 dogs but no center that fits the headstock. In measuring the taper to try and determine what it is, it does not come out to be any of the common tapers. Near as I can measure the large end is 1.540" and 5" from that it is 1.325", the bore of the spindle tube. The tailstock is MT3
I'd be very glad to hear...
