Anyone heard of a REXMAN lathe.

Hi, If I could pick the brains of the more knowedgable folk in the forum. A few years ago I picked up a REXMAN lathe at a garage sale. It is driven by a flat belt with 3 speeds, it appeared to have little wear but to have been abused a bit. It came with Pat Bernard chucks, a 3 jaws self centering and a 4 jaw independant . The 4 jaw was missing an adjustment screw for 1 of the jaws & there are quite a few thread cutting gears but no reverse gear. I cut a gear on my milling machine and case hardened it by wrapping in leather inside a sealed steel pipe with a small hole to compensate for pressure build up. Seems to be working well. Next job was to cut LH square thread for the 4 jaw adjustment screw then cutt the square hole for the the key once again using the mill. Followed the same process with the reverse gear for heat treatment. It served its purpose for my needs and is now in storage for my son. If anyone has any info or knowledge of these lathes I would like to hear from you. I will lift the covers and get measurements of bed length and chuck sizes if there is any intrest maybe even take a pic or two.


Thanks
