I acquired this lathe from someone who just wanted to "make space" in his garage. This lathe sat in an outbuilding in Phillipsburg, NJ for unknown years amid many antique farm implements that have been thrown away. It has no motor, although an aged leather drive belt is still around the drive pulley. It came with four tool rests. The one pictured on the lathe is 30" long. It also came with four face plates. The two largest ones are threaded left hand with a 1.5" thread and the smaller ones are right hand with a 1 5/8 thread. One leg has deteriorated from rot and will have to be repaired or replaced.
