...Pretty sure this is a 'commutator lathe' used in the winding of electric motors......probably not any more!

I saw it myself, but can't find the listing now.

I wondered if it was for grinding between centres?

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?

Possibly a flute grinding attachment.

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

The tailstock seems to be reversed, and by the addition of a belt drive on it, it looks similar to a glass blowing lathe.

Is that a centre in the tailstock? If so it is not reversed.

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?
