These are the workshop machinery plans for an interesting little Multi Function Lathe, originally built as a copy & taper turning lathe. It is also very useful as a general purpose centre lathe, with a variable speed feed (not geared to the spindle) similar to most milling machines.
The multi function lathe, as a small centre lathe, performs most functions (except screw cutting) required & would make a welcome addition to any workshop as a second, (third, fourth, fifth) lathe.
As a copy lathe you can have the ability to produce precision or decorative multiple parts quickly & accurately.
The taper turning setup we designed is unique, giving “micrometer” accuracy for both in / ft & degrees.
A further description of these PLANS including specifications are available on our website (machineryplans.com) where you may also download this or a large number of other plans without the postal costs.
