Nice lathe, whats the make n year?
I am building up a 1920 Drumond.
Bought in pieces, rather unused.
Amazing thing.

That would mean nobody on the continent cuts threads on their lathes because, if they did, they'd have their compounds set at the funny angle of 30 degrees. The compound on my lathe is equally well supported irrespective of the angle, depending only on how far the compound is extended, not on how amusing the angle.why do you like the top slides in a funny angle ? Nobody does this on the continent I´d think.
I didn't mean to imply violation of CMI standards (Canadian Machinery Institute) with "30 degrees," but since the humorous offset angle of our colonial lathes caused puzzlement, I though it best to write 30 degrees in the hopes it would be recognized as 60/2.I’m firmly entrenched in the 29.5 degree camp,
If anyone is impressed by me setting my compound at an odd angle, I feel sorry for them.Seems to me the odd angles are meant to look clever - but I fail to get the point . . .
