This is my TH54. Not yet restored, too busy using it. What I really want is a QC gearbox for it. I have some plans on a variable speed lead screw. I got the lathe basically for nothing. Been learning as I go.

Here is my little atlas. It has some 10D markings on the castings but it has the power cross feed which leads me to believe it may be a 10F. I think it's from around 1937 but just haven't had the time yet to check for more markings.

here is a pic of mine that i started to restore. I think it is a 1936 by the gear covers, it a 12 x 36. I thought it would be a good project after watching some you tube videos..lol

Finally got the splash pan I made 19 years ago under the lathe, I only had 4' brake back then, have a 8' now but still used the old one. Plus added a motor cover to keep the swarfs from getting ever so close to the insides of the motor. adding odds and ends mounting for face plates, live centers, drill chucks, lights. need more drawers to sort the years of collecting tooling

My 12x36 on my homemade stand. Lots of lighting, tool storage and chip catching.
