The manufacturer of this spinning lathe is Thomas Fruin, New York. The swing of the lathe is 22” and maximum distance between centers is 24”. The lathe's owner resides near Richmond, VA, and asked me to list it for sale on the www.OWWM.org site in Feburary, 2012. He estimates the headstock threads at 1.75 x 6 TPI. The headstock does have a female taper, but the size is unknown to him. Overall length is only 70 inches. It probably weighs between 500 and 1000 lbs.

The lathe was purchased a few years ago from well known metal spinner ,Terry Tynan, and was demonstrated to be running smoothly at that time. It has been stored in a dry garage since then. He did not get a motor, countershaft, or tooling with the lathe.
