Not sure if this belongs here or in the antique section but I purchased this small lathe and am looking for help identifying it.
I guess it does not matter that much who made it, but I would like to try and disassemble it for cleaning and a name might help turn up some drawings.
There was once a name plate riveted to the end of the bed but I am not even convinced the bed and headstock started out life as the same machine.
Maybe the shape is familiar to someone?
It has the Hardinge style taper lock nose, but it is for those tiny 3C collets.
Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh
(I used to know how to do this, not sure why the pics are so small)
