Comments:
I purchased this lathe from Stanley, a world-class engineer and expert woodworker. He is the original owner of this machine.

Other members of Vintage Machinery have posted awesome photos of their beautifully restored lathes... Mine hasn't been restored or repainted but perhaps I can help someone by showing you how I replaced the belt.

This lathe is not for sale. If you are looking for this model lathe, make sure you google the model number, 109.20630 There are web pages dedicated to the restoration of this specific model. This model is a "Double A Products" lathe, NOT AN ATLAS.
