Hello All,
Well, many of you were nice enough to help me decide that it might be worth looking into an older used lathe to get started on this new hobby of mine. As promised, I have a question about a specific lathe and was hoping someone might have some input.
I found a lathe on Craigslist that is a Walker Turner. Pic Attached, hopefully) Unfortunately the owner does not know a whole lot about it it (I think it was his dad's). It has a 1/2 HP motor. He does not know if it is variable speed but sent me the photo of the internal gearing, attachment below. Is this a reeves type system?
Does anyone know anything about this lathe???
Thanks,
Dan
