WP Davis Machine Co. -
Rochester, NY
Vintage line-drive METALWORKING LATHE
Bought this up in the woods of New Hampshire
As seen in his garage...
The gear cover in the middle right was scraping BAD and creates a high-pitched SCREETCH so It was removed for now...
Needs a good clean up but not bad at all for the price...
I want the larger pulley here to be even bigger in the future for more
torque.
This motor will also be swapped out for something with a little more HP
In Dad's truck ready for the ride home...
Another...
Leg's re-mounted and now at my Garage...
Full shot of the area...
Closer shot of the chuck and drive...
Dad likes it...
Dad later made a tool-holder for the WP.. Click it to download a ZIP
file with all the pics (not done yet)
and later as the Lathe-disease progressed I bought a bull-nose and a
live-center in MT2 for the end-stock...
and found not one but TWO Jacobs Chuck's at the Junkyard for FREE that
only need the correct MT2 taper shaft added to work...
( one not seen as it's at Dad's house having It's current broken taper shaft removed )
Later I found a 110/220 Volt 2-HP motor for FREE !
Specs: Sorry It's just way too fast for the Lathe...
The WP machining down some 3/16ths plate circles for my future
ring-roller...
