4425HKR10

Completed date is mar 17, 1952
shipped april 8, 1952
quite a coincidence, this lathe was shipped just a few days before I was born.

I just received the copy of the info card from grizzly, I have 16'' toolroom
lathe that I acquired. This lathe is in very good condition with measured wear
on the bed of .0015. I realize how lucky I am to have found this this old
machine in such good condition. The crossfeed shows a little more wear but not
exceptionally bad, will probably install new crossfeed and compound nuts.
Anyway, here are the specs as reported on the card.

This lathe came with a taper attachment, qc gear box, collet attachment, collet
rack, collets, thread dial, micro carriage stop.
I have all the orriginal parts with the exception of the follow rest and
threejaw chuck and I am backtracking the ownership trail to try to find those parts.
This is a nice lathe and I plan on using it for my gunsmithing work.

All the best to you, thanks for all the work you have done
