New to machine work and this forum. I just picked up my first lathe from a friend and am hoping someone here can give me some more info on it.

It's a Leblond 13" Heavy Duty Lathe. I *think* the serial number is NB145 but it's extremely worn off.

Check out the attached pictures.

Catalog scans about 1928 or so

Serial about 1930

Plain bearing thru out and threaded spindle nose - top speed 350

They would build you one with TIMKEN roller bearings, but only on special order

You might benefit from this great generic lathe info from 92 years back
