    What is the value of this machine

    Sell it for whatever you can get. Let them move it so you don't have to. Start at $400 and then reduce the price until it sells.

    Qualos Lathe parts required

    Basic lathe operation is pretty similar for all of these old lathes. Search for free copies of How to Run a Lathe by the South Bend Company. Atlas also made a similar book. Is there something specific that you needed to know?

    Unusual Wells-Index Mill

    The holes don't go through to the other side so I don't think so. I contacted the owner and he said "My Dad bought at an auction years ago. We never used it. I just want it out of my shop." Also, what is the tooling in it? It doesn't look like the spindle.

    Unusual Wells-Index Mill

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/270115005443308/ Never saw anything like this. None of the pictures on Tony's site match. Probably for production. Base may be shop built. Maybe only the motor is W-I. Does anyone recognize the upper part?

    Most people can figure out the back gear engagement, but few know about disengaging the bull gear pin to make it all work correctly.

    I wasn't sure if you knew about the back gear or if it was engaged on your lathe. Whenever I sell a lathe I demonstrate to the new owner how to engage and disengage the back gear. The vast majority of them did not know the feature existed.

    Brian, Have you discovered the back gear on your lathe yet? It may increase your speed.

    If Roy Underhill can turn threads in half and hour, so can you. :) The point is, you can grow into the capabilities of your machine.

    Barnes Velocipede Metal Lathe - input please

    Think how it would look if you could show items that you turned, like a brass item with threads. Maybe an ebony ring box with brass threads.
