LeBlond Lathe

JohnMessineo · Aug 13, 2018

Can anyone tell me what model this is? I am thinking late 40s early 50s? Not a typical round head though? Guy is asking 500...looked on Lathe.co.uk, but can’t seem to find the exact model? I am very close to buying it, but would like a little more info if possible!

Regal tribe. LeBlond's economy chicken hot dog equivalent. Try this, age isn't an assured match. Evolutionary thing, parts runs being used-up, etc.:

LeBlond Regal Lathes 1946 to late 1950s

You won't always find "the exact model".

Tony does really, really well at building his encyclopaedia, but most major makers made a LOT of changes and variations, so he can't post photos of them ALL if even he HAD them.

Thanks! Kinda what I figured....usually I can find an exact match somewhere, this one seems to have the heavy screw cutting gearbox, as well as the apron controls I would expect on a larger 16” and larger regal. Anyone know an approx weight?
