    100 rpm was my speed according to the chart at the top. But the actual rpm isn’t known. I can’t tell the motor rpm because there is no badge. But one speed up at 150 seemed fast and I think 64 was the next down which seemed to slow.

    I wouldn’t doubt this was decked out with all the options. It came from an Ontario school I believe. But I bought it out of a guys basement. Not sure how long he had it. Somebody must have took part of the taper attachment or when it was sold it was taken off and was never kept with the lathe...

    Cross slide and carriage stops are separate from what I can tell in the old diagrams. As for the taper attachment I only have half of it. But the hard part to make I already have which would be the proper cross slide assembly.

    I didn’t have it out this far the whole time. Even out 1/4” is giving almost the same results. Checking centre height after each adjustment. Slightly over centre seems to be best. I drilled 1” or so out, parted most of the way and cut the rest off with a chop saw. Im in need of a band saw lol.
