Hello all.
Proud new owner of a 1941 LeBlond Regal 17 with a 1.5 hp motor and a top speed of ~480 RPM. - I know, slow, but i'm turning metal on a piece of history. She built submarine parts at the Manitowoc shipyard in WWII so I'm quite happy taking my time working on it. The lathe came with a Phase II 250-300 quick change tool post and 250-30x series tool holders. (Max shaft size of 3/4") I currently have a 5 piece set of Turning bars with 1/2 inch shanks and both TPMB & TPMW inserts....
