Hi,
Does someone recognize this lathe by any chance? I am digging through all of
them at www.lathes.co.uk. A shortcut would be very helpfull ;-) The label
says Stokvis Rotterdam, but I somehow have the idea it's UK or US made.

Best regards,
Dirk

Tool post is a UK pattern rather than US but other than that I have no
idea. It looks a bit lightweight- rather long & thin and nothing much to
stop it twisting.

I expect it's fairly large, and thus stiffer than it looks.

Comparison permitted, the antique Stokvis "Imperator" tabletop drillpress I
have is a tough beast. So heavy that I had to dismantle it to get it up on
the bench. 150 Euro's is almost scrapp iron priced ;-)
