Hi all, I am new to the forum and hoping for some information on an old lathe that was given to me. As a preface, I have no experience with lathes or machining in general. I am fairly proficient with automotive hobbyist type metal working (cutting, bending, welding, etc...). I picked this thing up because the price was right (free) and I have always wanted to learn some machine work skills.

I cannot find any plates/ castings/ stampings on the machine itself, I do not have it all cleaned up yet though so I have not given up hope yet.

If you want to see pictures a different part of the machine, let me know and I will be happy to take some.

On the underside of the table it has "13 190" cast into it near the middle.

The motor is a "Master" type "RA" 1/2 horse 1725 RPM

The Transmission is a Master Speed Ranger Style #112774 Size 742Q with Const. Torque of 7.5 in-lbs.

I am hoping to find out:

What is it?

Can I get parts? Specifically the bearings since it seems to have a bit of play parallel to the part.

Any general information that might be helpful.

Thank You.

Josh
