Show Off Your Vintage Lathes

[doily_grunge]

So I recently picked up an old Aussie made Qualos Junior Lathe made in 1949. Picked it up for a bargain price of $300 aud ($200 usd). Gave it a quick paint and made a new bench for it scrubs up well for a 70 year old. And runs better than most of my new gear.

I love the old machines I’d love to see anyone else’s old lathes or other machinery for that matter that they use regularly.

Cool old machine. Head over to this thread, post your lathe and have a look at some of the other older machines.

Perhaps we do but personally I do not have a problem with a new one.
