Hello, my name is Celso and I'm from Brazil. I bought a lathe to reform and I don't know its brand and type. Can anyone help me with this information?

Hey Celso, any better pictures of the tag on the front there? I can see a three-point star, what looks like an S-T-B, but the rest is kind of blurry. Or do you think that's just a vendor tag from who sold it?

I suspect this lathe is a Portass. There are some similarities. The cover of the reduction train gears are identical. The support of flat pulleys is also identical.
however the bed and feet are quite different.
