Hello Abdur,

It would help us a lot if you could give a little more information, any markings might be useful and a picture or two would be invaluable; there were a number of models in the days when Zytos were popular that looked somewhat similar.

Regards

Brian

Welcome, Abdur

I've just looked at the code for the picture that you tried to post:

<img alt="" src="e:/DSCN8662">

This address is on your own machine.

For others to see it, you need to create an Album on this forum; post the picture there; then insert it using the little black camera icon [on the top bar of the post editing pane]

…Hope that helps

I'm not sure how to link it in but if you go to **LINK** and search 'small lathe' you should find it if it's not sold. sorry about the trouble

Hello Abdur

There were a number of very similar lathes made around the time of your machine that all look very much alike. Possibly made up from a small range of standard parts or probably direct copies of each other.

One that looks very similar to your lathe was marketed by Gamages and appears on the well known lathes.co.uk website **LINK** have a look down towards the bottom of the page linked to. The distinctive feature would seem to be the pronounced cast in "bead" around the curves of the side of the bed. Other lathes show similar raised beads but nowhere near as noticeable.

Hi Abdur, I reckon it could be a Portass Junior **LINK**

Regards Nick.

P.S. I have a RandA one which is similar, but has the added benifit of screw cutting. http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/albums/member_photo.asp?a=12754&p=509767
