I have a brand new Leland 1/4 hp from probably mid 30's I'd completely forgotten about until last night . Funny how, as I age, yesterdays memories are foggier than 30 years ago. Got it someplace for $5 new in the box with big plans to make a grinder. It sure looks the part for my 1935ish lathe. Even has a chrome flip top oiler. I see 9' lathes shipped with 1/4hp. Is it enough hp for actual use? Mine has a countershaft assembly. Seems pretty low hp by "todays" standards.
