I often read about all the old US names and UK made lathes, mills and such but never hear about Aussie made items...
So does anyone have any history of Australian made machine tools...
I know of a few names but not much else, Macson and Nuttall being the only Aussie made larger lathes I see in my travels...With smaller ones made by Sheridan, Qualos, Hercus and Clisby...AFAIK Hercus also made small mills amd TC grinders and Qualos made a range of items from gear hobbers to who knows what...
I have also heard of Mars lathes and mills made during the second world war....Anyone know any history of any of the above companies????
