Actually Putnam and other makers called this a Hand Lathe. It could cut metal too. I don't think the "saddle/cross slide" is original. Still a cute lathe. Rob

I don't think this is a machine for cutting metal. It looks to light. Judging by the paper dust on it and the paper in the box under the machine, I would say this is for cutting/punching paper, such as corrugated boxes. Over on the right hand side of the picture, you can see what is being done...

It would be a nice one to have. There was one on the PM some time ago. Dated 1871. I don't know if it was saved or not. Rob

If you are talking about the stereo photo in post #178, there are two drills in the photo, both are New York Steam Engine Co. ones. Rob

That would put the pictures after 1868. In 1867 it was New York Steam Engine Works. In 1868 it became New Your Steam Engine Co. The pictures look to be from the early to mid 1870's. The last picture are Lucius Pond machines. Rob

It is a plane blade grinding attachment for Delta 7" bench & pedestal grinders. Rob

I have the same model that was my dad's, less the multi speed pulley. He bought his in the 1950's. Made by Atlas. Rob
