I think you succeeded. Fine work Sir!

Dimensions: The machine is 20" wide, the column is 20" tall, and the base is 12" deep. The column is removable, so the machine can be broke down for shipping into a package that is about 20"x12"x8" (plus crating). I have not weighed it, but everything is made of quality case iron or steel and...

Here are some more specific details: Lathe: With the spindle mounted on the bed it turns 7" over the bed, 4" over the cross slide, and 8" between centers. With the spindle mounted horizontally on the milling column the machine can face material much larger than 7". Set it up like this for...

SOLD 7/18/2010 I've moved on to some larger dedicated free-standing machines so it's time to sell my Astoba benchtop universal mill & lathe, made in Switerland. I'd like $3,500. Here is some info from Tony's site (in fact, my machine is pictured there)...

Artie, Thanks for the detailed pictured of your ratcheting feed pawl castings. They are very helpful, as was your video. Your repairs are made to a high standard and I'm sure the previous owner would be happy to know his machine is in capable hands. My machine only came with one such device...

She's a beauty Artie. I have a Sweedish made machine called a "Torpex" currently undergoing a restoration which is very similar to yours. It also seems to have the two-axis auto-feed capability. Would you mind sharing some more detailed images or videos of how yours operates? Congratulations...

Ok, here's my undersized Bentley crank. Pretty, but junk: Here's its replacement being roughed in on my Hendey 12-inch shaper. I'll be more careful when it's back in the lathe this time: Bob

Long time lurker, new member from West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA. I bought my first klunker lathe just a few years ago, but I've been interested in steam and I.C. engines for a long time. I finally purchased a set of Bentley BR2 plans at NAMES this year and promptly removed .002 too much from...
