New Hand Lathe.
An engraving on this page represents a new and improved hand lathe, which seems well adapted for the work usually done on tools of this class. It has a swing of 12", and a bed either four or five feet long, as may be desired.
The spindles are fitted with hardened steel conical bearings, and carefully ground by the means of tools specially constructed for the purpose, by which it is claimed that very perfect and durable wearing surfaces are obtained.
The cone pulleys have four changes for the belt, and being turned on the inside for balancing, may be run at high speed without jar. The width of belt is 1½".
The tail stock, as shown in the engraving, is fitted with a lever attachment to the spindle, which adapts It to be moved very rapidly for light, quick work, but it is also fitted with screw attachment, If preferred These lathes, we are informed, are made with back gears when wanted, and adapted to be used with compound tool rest and other convenient appliances.
They are built by Amor & Thompson, 168 Centre St., New York. |
