Got me a Heavy 10

[tk1971]

I just joined the club. I picked up this 1939-1940 Heavy 10.

It came with 1/2 hp 3ph motor wired up to a VFD plus the original 110v 1/2 hp motor along with the FWD/REV switch (removed when the VFD was installed).

It also came with the taper attachment (telescopic) that was missing part of the mounting hardware so those parts were recreated and the collet attachment, though it’s missing the sleeve.

It has a 3-jaw chuck, tailstock, and has a single tumbler QCGB.

I had to re-think where to put it as my garage has a ramp that I couldn’t get the lathe up and over it. I’m now thinking it should go next to the mill.

I’m contemplating disassembling it to clean it up and replace the oil wicks, as I came across a kit on Amazon.

Swing 10
Length of bed 4
Cat # 187 A
Ser 102642
Letters on the bed D.W.W. and L.Q.R.

Anyway, here are some pictures.

Fine home shop machine. You should be pleased with it once up and running.

That is great.
I hope it comes with a tailstock. The taper attachment adds value for sure. Any tooling?
Enjoy.

The tailstock was removed during transport. It comes with a dead center. There’s one cutter on the tool post. No steady rest either.

I was thinking my first project will be making a MT-2 to Jacobs tapered arbor.
