Possibly another bargain lathe
#1
A "Potter" precision bench lathe - almost certainly brought over during WW2. It's the usual 'house clearance' sale, open to offers and so could be a bargain if you're near Salisbury

That's an interesting little machine, if I was nearer I'd go for a look-see...

Yes, Duncan, all these high-precision lathes were a delight. Starking with Stark in 1862, so many versions were made right into the 1950s - though even today Schaublin, in Switzerland, will sell you one (if you can remortgage the house). Links to details of this type and its many makers (from America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, and Switzerland) can be found here.
