Comments:
I found this lathe in my dads barn, my grandfather had it for a number of years and he may have bought/been given the machine from dalhousie university here in nova scotia (not confirmed just a thought). It was used primarily for wood as indicated by it being absolutely covered in sawdust when i found it. It has back gears, double lever gearbox, autofeed and auto cross feed, sliding taper attachment, it has the mounted collet assortment with handwheel, dial indicator stop and thread indicator.
