Carle Spin Lathe

[Perry Hilbert Jr]

Back some time in the mid 1900's there was a small home metal spinning lathe sold by an outfit Karle Spin Shop Lathe. sold by Karle Kraft Home shops. 12 x 24 inch spinning lathe. I got one, I have seen several for sale on the net, but I am trying to find a manual or material on it. I check every few months at Vintage machinery and a search minutes ago showed nothing. I have watched on the metal spinning page on Face book etc.

Does anyone have any information about the lathe. I have a dozen tools, several chucks, but no information. Thanks

Only thing I have found says it's a Karle lathe. Maybe that is hindering your search.
