Comments:

I acquired this lathe at auction of a pattern and mold manufacturer in Auburn, MA 2003. It appears to be an older model as it has an open stand, unshrouded motor, and no gap bed. It sports the original Blount badged 1/2 hp three phase motor. It came with a neat tailstock with built-in cross slide for tapered work, as well as a carriage with compound, several small tool rests, spur centers, and face plates. It also has outboard turning capability. There is a 4 position motor speed controller on the front; I'm not sure if it is original.
