With the vertical milling and drilling head raised, and the top slide replaced, the machine could be used as a centre lathe without further alteration. Note the switch, built onto the body of the electric motor.
The quill travel was 1.5625 inches and the maximum distance between the spindle nose and cross slide 12 inches - the assembly could drill a hole in the middle of a circle 11.8125 inches in diameter.

The quick-feed drill quill in use - typical of the type of job which can, on occasion, make a well-designed combination machine so useful to have in the workshop. Notice that the vertical column is really just a modified section of the standard lathe bed.
