WP Davis Machine Co. - Rochester, NY
Vintage line-drive METALWORKING LATHE

MOTOR / MOUNT UPGRADE ALMOST DONE !

Dad gave me a stainless steel Piano hinge and on arrival home I chopped some of it into two little hinges then welded them to the rear upright and the top deck

After everything was welded and bolted together a test was done on some aluminum scrap...
Understand that getting a smooth face before even on aluminum was IMPOSSIBLE...

NOT ANYMORE !

Now partially back in service I made a few crush-sleeve's for the floor-pan of the Fiero... HERE

FOUR video's were made of the Lathe running HERE: #1 #2 #3 #4
Some of it running and others of it starting from a dead stop...
