I've been given an old Coronet Major lathe, various attachments and a pile of various turning tools. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions as I get it working and set everything up but to start with. I'm cleaning the lathe up and will sort through the tools and post some photos and questions on those separately but there are a variety of chucks and faceplates and, as a novice turner (I've not turned anything yet) I'd appreciate some advice on what the pieces are and their use. I'll add what I know and see if it's correct.
Ok, from the top, morse taper turning point, needs cleaning up but this was what was in the lathe.
Another fitting that looks like you bolt a disk of something to it.
A couple of Jacobs chucks, need cleaning.
On the left are a couple of chucks I"ve not seen before, they have springs inside and I'm guessing you turn something the correct size and it's a push fit into them?
3 jaw chuck, not sure if this is for woodworking as it's the sort of thing I used in the machine shop at school several decades ago.
Faceplates. The small one with sandpaper has no holes in it, so I'm assuming that's just for sanding.
The other small one has holes so I'm guessing you screw through it into whatever you want to turn.
The larger disks have had sand paper stuck to them in the past but also have holes, I'm guessing they can be used for either sanding or fixing larger blanks to them for turning.
Not sure what the brush would be used for but the polishing mop needs some cleaning as it has old polishing compound on it that's pretty hard.
