New Hand Lathe
The illustration shown on this page represents a new style of band lathe, which is now being built by E. E. Garvin & Co., 148 Centre St., New York. This lathe is furnished with a strong bed which is supported by legs constructed so as to prevent the vibration which is so objectionable to some lathes. There is a wooden table securely attached to brackets on the back side of the bed, which is 9" wide, and extends the whole length of the lathe. The spindle is hollow, has a 17/32 inch hole through it, and is provided with good composition bearings. By the adoption of the hollow spindle, this lathe may be used for the purpose of cutting up stock or making screws, pins, and doing other work. The tail stock is provided with a steel spindle adjusted by a screw. A lever attachment is also furnished with this lathe (shown in the cut), which may be applied to the spindle, and which acts as a quick return motion and gauge. This is very desirable in drilling or manipulating small pieces of work. The tail stock and tool rest are securely held in position by a cam handle, and may be instantly secured or released. This lathe will swing over the bed 18". |
