Heston & Anderson No.100 8" x 36" light-duty wood-turning lathe.
No. 100 was produced as economically as possibly and was very much more lightly constructed the No. 24. The headstock was fitted with New Departure sealed ball bearings and a 3-step V pulley - although the spindle, only 1/2" in diameter, was left solid and carried a thread to mount centres. No Morse taper fittings were provided on either the headstock or tailstock.
Spindle speeds of 900, 1800 and 3600 rpm could be obtained from an 1800 rpm motor.
The bed was constructed from 3/16" thick steel plate, but was only 11/2" wide and 11/2" deep. As with the larger model, any length could be ordered, an extra foot cost 75 cents - and added 4 lbs to the standard machnine's 32 lbs.
The tool rests were in cast iron and fitted to swivelling bases with thumb screws to lock the chosen setting. Two bases were supplied as standard with 8-inch and 16-inch tool rests. The faceplate was in cast iron and provided with holes to attach work with wood screws. The tailstock centre was formed as part of the 11/4" travel barrel - an economical idea, if not a very good one .
