looks like a machine that might face and turn a part but with not having a compound likely may not thread..Cant see any gear change ability from photos.

That is the exact same machine. I can say it was nowhere near $900. Always wanted one and it was cheap thanks for the reply

Click to expand...

Compound is easy enough to add for "whatever". Handy, not essential, for threading.

More importantly, I'm not sure there is actually a leadscrew or half-nuts.

Single-wall apron, European style right-side longitudinal traverse off a balanced crank instead of handwheel, one friction clutch, might be longitudinal surfacing, only.

Pre 1900?

All guesswork off of BAD photos, though.

Ah .. .slow typing tonight. Kitno has linked it whilst I was trying to zoom photos...
