The lathe arrives!
John Stevenson:
Who's a lucky boy then ?
Found these.
'Cuse pics, crappy cell phone.
Steady buried under a lathe.
20" faceplate, 12" face plate, 12 " catchplate, 7" swiss cheese plate, 12 " 4 jaw Pratt chuck in good nick but not the backplate with the rule on it, that's a big threaded one, very early Colchester ?

Wow, John, that's some haul! That 20" faceplate looks huge (and heavy)!

The steel wheels you have are probably diamond lapping wheels for touching up carbide tools if i'm not mistaken.

Steve; should I expect to feel any roughness on the wheels? Because they just look like plain steel to me (you can even see a touch of surface rust)?
The "Carbide tools only" notice on the light post certainly suggests you're correct. If anyone knows where I might get an 8" wheel suitable for side grinding, that will fit that grinder, I'd be forever grateful. Will exchange :beer: for info... :thumbup:

Plate isn't that heavy as it's not got a thick rim, the 20" one on my TOS is about 2 1/2" thick and bloody heavy.
Got a stack of wheels I'll check what's there, got loads of 8" white tool and cutter wheels, probably about 50 or 60 or so, have to do this tomorrow as I'm not sure which shed they got thrown in.

Looks like you have picked up some seriously nice equipment there. Once you get it all settled away it should provide many hour of enjoyment. Thanks for providing the many pictures of it all. Happy Machining. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
Cheers :beer:
