Also not sure on the lathe single bar lathes were popular back in the 70's but I don't know this one!

As above the wheel should move the quill in and out, once it is free look for a grubscrew holding the wheel to the shaft and you can remove the entire assembly for cleaning.

The black handwheel is supposed to move the quill in and out. Does it turn? It may be seized so some penetrating oil or similar may be required and once you have it  moving remove the excess oil. Hopefully someone else will answer with a lathe make, I suspect it is one of the early Chinese ones that were produced for many different manufacturers.

Hi
    I am new to posting in a forum, so please forgive any mistakes. I am not a turner as yet, I love working with wood and have been doing so for many years. I recently have been given an old wood lathe, I haven`t a clue what make it is as the name has worn off, but know its old, hopfully someone will know? It  does work but needs work to tidy it up. I am having trouble with the tail stock? I can knock out the centre, but it does not want to turn? it seems to be lose in its mounting, but just wont move in or out. Is it surposed to?   
Thanks
              Paul

Well done Tim,

I think rather than looking for 1.5" x 8TPI to 1.5 x 6TPI you may be better off looking for an engineering shop that could make one for you.

Hi Pete,
One lathe collected in peices.
When time allows I will re-assemble it. I now need to find a chuck adaptor
from 1.5" x 8 tpi to 1.5" x 6 tpi so I can use a Graduate chuck on it if required.
I bought it as my Shortbed Graduate is very limited for spindle work and the curved tailstock does flex at times.
Won't get used all the time but paid a very sensible price for it.

Workshop is now looking like an education centre,  Educator one end and Graduate the other.
Maybe I can learn to turn properly !

Thanks   Tim

Isn't it just a standard NVR switch?

Have you looked on lathes.co.uk
