Lathe … Manufacturer unknown

Please see Photo Album

About 25 years ago, I bought this lathe from a friend … He had given-up on the restoration.

Since then; it has lain at the back of my bench!

It is roughly the size of a Myford ML7 and, I suspect, was probably supplied as a part-machined kit … some of the engineering is excellent, and some looks decidedly home-made.

The Headstock is unusual for a small lathe, in that it has an internally mounted Tumbler Reverse. Hopefully that will let someone identify it.

I do have a vague recollection of seeing a photo in an old Model Engineer, announcing its availability.

Most grateful for any advice

Can anyone identify, please

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Three weeks, and not a single response

Surely someone must recognise that headstock.

Looks a bit like a Bomey

Ady,

Thanks for that … There are definintely some similarities.

Maybe the manufacturer of mine borrowed some design ideas from Bomey.
