This lathe is currently listed for sale online in SW Ontario. It is not my machine nor do I have any affiliation with the seller.

Further details describing this machine advise that is has a 36" bed and a 1 and 1/2 inch through-bore, and that it also comes with a 4 jaw chuck,3 jaw chuck, face plate, and steady rest.

Lathes from this manufacturer are under-represented in this database. Hence my desire to preserve these photos from the listing for posterity purposes.

Also of note is that there is not a lot of information on machines from this era at http://www.lathes.co.uk/rockford/index.html
