I have some antique lathes and lathe parts that have attached themselves to me.

I need to do some more research before I put them in the Tailgating section.

Lorch & Schmidt "LL", small Oliver metal lathe (the bed is about 26") and a transmission gearbox for belt drive and tailstock from a 13' or 14' Cincinnati lathe. 2 mini's and a giant. I think the Lorch is a clockmakers lathe.

I can't find anything about the smaller Oliver metal lathe.

Anyone have any thoughts or people to contact?

Thanks

You might try www.lathes.co.uk/index.html this site has the specs and history on most any machine out there.....

Thanks,

Norsman, and Doc.

I actually talked to Tony at Lathes.Uk about the Lorch. Haven't talked to him about the Oliver or the Cincinnati.

He also wants $65 a listing.
