Hi should have said I have a clarke micro mill not lathe :)

I was know as the "Keyway King" when I has an apprentice as all I ever seemed to do... I worked at Hygate Gears in Bath, UK - long gone I'm afraid.

This is my lathe circa 1910 but good enough for what I need.



This is my old BSA bantam with a few bits I have re-manufactured on it.

Nice BSA, we have 175 in red sat at me dads place that will get resurrected shortly along with the Norton Commando 850

Thanks for the photo of the lathe -- extra cool! Never saw that belt arrangement before either, running over a roller and then down under and around the other side.

Is there a gib in a slot in the cylindrical ways -- and if there is, is it triangular or square?

Also is that a 3 jaw chuck held by a 4 jaw chuck? Or is it a bell chuck mounted on a faceplate that is doing the holding?
