Help with information on my lathe

[mec9900]

It might be worth contact them on their support page:

If you can send them a picture they may be able to ID it and dig up a manual.
Having the date stamped on it should help.

how is the hand wheel changing locations ?

I've never seen one of those before. Looks like pretty stout lathe for a 10x!

That's a different lathe, see post 4.

I am not sure if Central Machinery machines of the 1980s are at all related to HF. That machine is robust, not janky.

I have not used them in this location yet, location may change.

Yes it is very robust. It is a gearhead lathe.

Hi mec9900

I have been looking at the same Herless SSB-5MK that is being sold as a deal for AU$2000



Are you happy with your lathe? Just wondering if you picked up a user manual it? Did you pay a lot for your lathe?

cheers

I got the chance to pick up this lathe the other day. Best I can tell it has a 10 inch swing and 18 inches between centers. It is a geared head lathe. I have not be able to find any information on it. If anyone has one or has used one I would like to hear your thoughts on it. I have attached some pictures of it.
