Swind Turret Machine
I recently picked up this machine for next to nothing.
Only ID on it says "SWIND Machinery Company Philadelphia PA"  It's about 36" long and weighs approx 500 pounds, all cast iron. It had a flat leather drive belt on it, but it was shot. I got it running using an automotive belt. Anyone know anything about the company or the machine? Rick

Re: Swind Turret Machine
would appear to be a small turret lathe, with a collet closer. handle on right moves the turret. bears to set up, but great for long runs. probably from 1900 to 1920's. look up turret lathe on the net.
