Afternoon all,

For all the worriers who wouldn't dare to take a cut on their lathe greater than a few thou' read the text in the pic. below.

Image was extracted from a Drummond publication issued in 1930 entitled "Lathe Work, by some amateurs"

Nice food for thought innit.

Len.

P.S. Sorry the text is a bit dodgy, that's how it is in the publication and using photoshop it's the best I can manage.

My Grandfather built two scale tugs and a traction engine on a Brittania treadle lathe, not to sure what his maximum cut was, my brother has the lathe well wrapped in his loft.
