Dean Smith and Grace T17 precision toolroom lathe - London Ontario $2500

Is your shop up to owning this lathe? It is a beast. But a precise beast

If you have the space and can handle the expense of movers this may still be a deal.

Debbie Doppler.

To decode that you will have to seek out @Susquatch

What is the fourth rod running end to end at about the way level?

@Susquatch you laughed but you didn't explain.

I think, but I am fully open to correction, that this rod is used for stop blocks which will disconnect the feed at set points. Usually this is the lowest rod.

In support of my argument I refer you to the extension to the far right to allow a little more travel for the carriage.. and I see what appears to be stop blocks at each extreme end of the rod

The Rolls Royce of lathes and thats the hot rod model, the "T". Dollars to donuts that 4th rod is a relieving attachment. Too bad it doesn't have the steadies.

Edit, John I think (but couldn't swear) its reliving not thread/feed disengagment. I believe the T models had relieving and its hooked into the headstock not gearbox

Our shop is in my brother's two car garage.

Our shop boss is his partner Debrah, who just happens to be weather fixated and have ocd

I wish I could find a manual for free, just for the information.

I hate not having access to information...

You have to beg......



There is a seemingly penultimate relationship between ladies who can predict and control the weather and the name Debbie. Having ultimate control over the men in their lives is just a byproduct of that Godlike power. We who live anywhere near their sphere of influence have taken to calling these ladies "Debbie Doppler".



The fact that they are sometimes wrong about the weather is inconsequential. Usually, when such a contradiction arises, they react by saying that they didn't like their own forecast so they simply made a few adjustments.



TB and I have both come to know that resistance is futile.



Ya, let's just say that the subject lathe isn't gunna make it into his shop.
