here is the antique machine that i have and a page from the manufacturer's catalog...although this machine is an updated version of my machine...this machine was also made at the turn of the century and as you can see, is somewhat similar as the previous machine posted...moving bed, stationary cutter in center, template following(bed pivots on pins in center of machine), tilting cutter head, etc., etc.
these two machines are the first mass produced, twist or ornamental lathes made in the united states, i believe...both went out around the depression is my understanding and no other american manufacturer ever made a twist lathe after these two until legacy came along, i believe( not counting the sears router crafter!...LOL!)...so legacy is in a select group as far as their older pieces of equipment go...the cnc stuff i would not throw into the mix as there are numerous companies making cnc turning/milling type machines...anyway, just some fun stuff to post on a hot, boring summer day at work...hope you all enjoy it and i will occasionally add to this topic as time permits...thanks for the read...joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
