I love these old Hendey cone head lathes. I have a geared head lathe in my shop that we use everyday. I've been looking to get a cone head version for fun.

A great place to find information on these machines is Ozarkwoodworker

I got a manual for my geared head lathe here, and I loved it. After I got it, I called the guy up and talked with him about some other tools I owed. Real nice guy.

I hope that helps and keep these machines running!

Wicked shes well worn but does the job. A credit to the quality of old tools.
