Hello, my name is Celso and I'm from Brazil. I bought a lathe to reform and I don't know its brand and type. Can anyone help me with this information? Attached photos thankful Celso Ari |

You need to reduce the resolution of your pictures so that they're more viewable. |
| celsoari:
reduce photos |
| Pete.:
Lathes only lists one lathe from the maker STB - a precision bench lathe. Yours looks to be a screwcutting engine lathe. It appears fairly stout. How about posting some more photos of the various parts, especially the headstock plaque. What length bed is it and what centre height? |
| Pete.:
After looking around it seems that STB isn't the maker but a long past importer of German automobiles before WW2 Sociedade Technica Bremensis. Probably explains the Mercedes sign. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u=http://www.dkwcandango.com.br/2aAutoUnion/AutoUnionBrasil.htm&prev=search It may make the machine of German origin perhaps? I have an idea I've seen those funny clock-winder changewheel retainers somewhere before but I cannot think where. |
