Drummond Lathe

[thomvic]

I know some of you out there love old tools and equipment so I thought you might be interested even though it's not a wood turning lathe. This ad. is in the classifieds of my local rag today:

"Old Drummond lathe 1906 £60. Buyer collect antique 01889 507330"

That dial code is for Uttoxeter in North Staffordshire.

I also have a drummond round bed lathe also £60, it is the rare long bed model.

Could be an absolute bargain, or just a heap of cracked rusty CI :?. For some years, had a Drummond flat bed which had been converted from treadle power to electricity and was a wonderfully solid precise machine. But a HSE nightmare, with exposed gears and pulleys everywhere.
