I'm helping a local shop setup an old Lucas they got at auction.
I really know nothing about where it came from,but it came with a pile of lathe tooling and cam lock toolpost type things.

I've seen these machines used like a vtl before, but can't figure out where the lathe tooling would mount.

I wouldn't think you would mount to the movable portion of the spindle, as you'd be loading bearings without them running.

Any ideas, or was there random lathe tooling tossed into the lot?

Thanks

That looks like tooling to a vertical turret lathe.

I agree with 4GSR ......and somewhere someones looking for some (and hopefully prepared to pay - cos you don't see much about) - I'd say the round shank size will be the determining factor in which machine it fits.
