OLD LATHE
celsoari:
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?

You need to reduce the resolution of your pictures so that they're more viewable.

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.

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.
