Re: The Saw Attachment & Serial number
|
I find that really odd that the bed is stamped Lot 4.? First off measure the center height.? Lot 4 swing 7 1/4 inches a lot 2 swings 6 inches.? The cross slide and compound are definitely Lot 2 parts. The saddle is also Lot 2 with a bolt on cross slide lead screw bushing Lot 3 and 4 have a screw in bushing. I can also see that the bottom casting for the tail stock is short and is for a 6 inch lathe the Lot 3 4 and 5 lathes that casting is much taller.? Phil Boxels lathe in England is stamped Lot 2 but is in fact a Lot 4 lathe.? So maybe the guy that stamped the lot and serial number could not read:-).

I¡¯ve taken the lathe apart and started cleaning it up.?
I can confirm the serial number is eleven (11) and it¡¯s a Lot 4?
Ive stripped the paint off all surfaces back to bare metal and this evening I¡¯ll be electroplating Zinc onto all surfaces before a zink primer and finally a coat of black paint (where I absolutely have to) I¡¯m no fan of paint but I¡¯ll put her back to original format Barr the added protection of electro plating. I think it¡¯s an extra step worth taking. I¡¯ll upload a few examples of where I¡¯m at thus far.?
