1943 Wade 8a (Serial #407) Second Operation Lathe. Teco L510 single phase 220 to 3 phase 220 powering a 2hp motor. Vintage controls + tons of learning how to properly configure the VFD = Vintage look and feel with contemporary results. Most importantly, it makes chips. :) When I got it, circa...

I realize this is an old thread. Some of us actually use the Search feature. :) I have a similar taper attachment, model 200. Some additional Googling came up with this ad from a 1946 printing of Popular Mechanics magazine. Make with the clicky thing. Cool old lathe accessory, IMHO. :)

Anyone know what this is?

Pm sent!

I'll take them if a buddy of mine can swing by. I'll check with him and get back to you ASAP. (Yet tonight.)

I was going through Miller's website and found this. Looks better than the Chinese made one. :D http://www.millerwelds.com/interests/projects/ideagallery/project/965970285/
