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.

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

vtsteam:
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?

Hi and welcome to us  :wave:
