Small Metal Lathe - Craftsman Style Home Shop Tool Mini

Zoerman and Clark Lathe maybe 1950's vintage with a 1909 Leavitt Mfg Chuck .Someone adapted the chuck on this lathe by machining a end plate for it with threaded center to mount other chucks on it as well.

@raptormaxx A mini lathe will knock the spots off one of these lathes. The mandrel is very light weight and they don't even have hand wheel dials. They dont have a morse taper tail stock either. There better than nowt though.

Loveley, I have quite a similar lathe. A 1920's Ideal, made in London. I'm in the process of setting it up for work, I'll do a video when it's ready.
