While visiting a friend to use his blast cabinet while I was waiting for a part for mine he offered me this lathe. It has the optional metal cutting setup which I haven't finished restoring. The lathe was in great shape. I replaced the "oilite" bearings cleaned the rust and painted and polished it. It was probably manufactured by another company because the "Craftsman 9 inch" cast into the bed appears to be a plate thrown into the casting box! It also came with a set of tiny chisels and a number of metal cutting tool bits.
