First Lathe!

Nice grab for the price. Looks to be in pretty good shape and complete. Right about what I paid for my Atlas 10” several years ago.

Looks nicely optioned with what I can see of the QCGB and a taper attachment.

The big “5” on it makes me kind of feel like it lived in a production environment at one time in its life (Ie:5 or more lathes in a production line).

Personally, I’m not a fan of flat belts, but thats probably more due to my not being as familiar with them as I am with v-belt drives as much as anything else.
More than likely it came from a school, not production.
