280 forum posts 40 photos | I find it intriguing because it has belt drive to both the headstock and tailstock.

I wondered that, but the headstock end pulley seems domed, as for a belt drive, but the tailstock end seems flat. I did wonder if it was to allow a friction drive of the tailstock for a rubber wheel, perhaps driving, rather than driven?? Is the listing still up? |

Ebay No. 122485824478 Many thanks, now had I looked in my "Watched Items" list, rather than searching then whole of ebay, I might have re-found it before you posted. Maybe need more coffee in the mornings

![]() 217 forum posts 24 photos | The tailstock seems to be reversed, and by the addition of a belt drive on it, it looks similar to a glass blowing lathe. |

280 forum posts 40 photos | Is that a centre in the tailstock? If so it is not reversed.

658 forum posts 236 photos | Almost bought it out of curiosity before it started getting expensive. My guess was cylindrical grinder part. The headstock looked like it had a hardinge bayonet spindle fitting. I feel the tailstock might be a rotating center? |
