I have found a 1960 K. Martin KM 230 and I have never seen or heard of one so I need some help. I have found information on the little brother/sister but nothing on this model.
Yes I went to look at a Clausing Colchester 6535 and he had oneIs this a machine you are looking to purchase?
Cheers

I googled it and I couldn't find much on this model but what I did find was the exact same machine for sale in Tennessee from a long time ago. Here is the link http://www.timcoinc.com/equipment/view/217. and I will upload a picture of the one I seen. Compare the two.There are at least two for sale in Tennessee and Idaho. German made from the '60's it can't be junk unless someone turned it into junk. Quite a bit on Google about them.
The one I seen may have some where around 9 or 10 foot bed and a top speed of 1000 RPM. It does have a D1 cam lock.Hi
Looks very similar to my DLZ 502. Mine is a 10 hp and is a 20" swing with 84" centres. I run mine on a rotary phase converter with no problems.
Martin lathes have hardened ways , a oil pump that pumps oil through the gearbox. It has a sight glass like a sediment bowl to see that the oil is splashing.
They are very stout lathes. Fairly low speed thou. Mine is 16-750 rpm. Has a MT-5 taper in the tail stock and a D1-8 cam lock chuck.
You won't be disappointed if its not trashed.
Cheers
Martin
