Large Tenor Lathe

I got a call today to come pick up some free scrap metal.

The scrap turned out to be a Tenor lathe. 7.5 HP.

It came with an 8" Tenon bit. Cheapest new tenon bit

of that size that I found on google is $700.00.

I'm going to remove the motor and install an 2 1/2" 

arbor shaft and a smaller motor. When I'm finished 

I will be able to use this as a wood lathe to. More projects.

I'll never catch up.

    I remember motors looking like that in the 1960's.  The only 2 that I can remember were GE and Westinghouse.  When I worked for W. W. Sly in Cleveland, OH, we used those for industrial dust filters.

    The Tenon bit was made by Mar-Sal Machine Co Inc.

    Seem like they went out of business. 

    It looks like the most Industrial grade tenor bit ever made.
