Greetings to All,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I recently acquired a 1966 PBR (Perico Baroni & Raimondi ) Lathe.
As you can probably tell, it's made in Italy.
This particular model is a WESCO 12".
The lathe is a 12" x 40" with a L0 Spindle.
It has 12 speeds (33 - 1500 RPM) and can cut inch and metric threads.
It has a two speed motor (5HP/3HP), 220 VAC, 3 Phase.
This is a real step up from my Atlas 10 x 36.
I had to do a lot of searching on the internet to find any information on it.
Apparently, these are few and far between in the U.S.
PBR is out of business but there is a company in Italy that still supports them.
They were kind enough to email me a parts manual and a operators manual in English.
I have painted it and made a few minor repairs and adjustments and it is now ready to be moved to its permanent position in the shop.
I have not been able to find anyone else that has one of these lathes.
PBR made mostly large (40" + swing) long bed and CNC lathes.
This is one of the smallest ones they made.
I am looking for any other PBR owners so I can swap lies
Best Regards,
