    Show off your lathes

    Picked this one up the other night It was poorly listed on eBay, in bits with the above terrible picture, hence generated little interest As it was cheap and close I placed a bid and won. Once home loosely assembled it to see if it was complete - which it is. It came with a new old stock...

    Picked up a Raglan Loughbrough Training Lathe last night. It was listed as a rusty lathe in the local ads for £30. The pic below is after an hr or so work with a power washers and wire brush. All bits not move freely. I'll probably end up keeping it

    Lathe Pulley Sizes

    By big pulley I mean the large 12" one top left. In the set up shown in the pic the pulley on the motor was 2.5" giving speeds of 148 / 296 / 592 Im not looking to do anything to technical at the moment - just make some crash bobbins for a motorcycle out of aluminium

    Lathe Pulley Sizes

    I found this page. http://www.lathes.co.uk/latheparts/page3.html I think Ill go for a 7" pulley as they are readily available at a resonable price. This will give me speeds of 200 / 400 / 800 rpm which should be sufficient to get me started. Im only tickering around at the moment
