Cleaning up my old lathe

[JOHN.ASHBURN]

Will do a photo shoot for you and just ask what detail you want will detail the worm too. it can be used as a taper turn too . when i go to visit am sure there is another similar lathe with the worm drive set up on power feed shaft. he makes his own drilling rods for his water boring operation cuts a 4 tpi tapered thread on about 2 inch pipe from memory. Fine day today and will fire up the camera.
My old girl here now tizzied up with a splash of dulux by former owner. came from a garage in avoca central Vict and was taken out of service under work cover orders. they had it there for years put on an apprentice and work cover visited the garage and condemned it due to flat belt drive.by the look it is in good condition and it measures up ok some teeth off here and there including the worm drive[helical gear] the owner took it home and cleaned it up and painted and unfortunately passed on, Bought from family but sadly missed this by 2 weeks was a hercus lathe bought brand new in a box ex army .they were fitted on ser 2 landrovers for field work shop used fitted accross back of tray at rear.
Did notice the chain drive mod on your lathe but this has all original gear drive and all change gears up to 120 teeth Cheers John.
