Greetings all,
My lathe's serial number, that is stamped on the ways, reads like this: "LT 106 R 5614RKL 11".
What does the "11" mean?
Also, what is the "LT 106 R"?
I have been through the serial number information and understand that my lathe's serial number is from the post 1947 system and that my lathe is likely a 1953. Also that it is the 5614th lathe produced in the new numbering system. R=Heavy 10" (10R or 10L), K=Quick Change Gears (QCG), Friction Feed Apron, Underneath Motor Drive, (UMD), L=Large Spindle Hole, Standard Swing.
Thank You
R, Steve
